Encoded? Why would you encode an answer when its so obvious?

Notepad owns all.
Once you know the commands, vi is the best. There is so much it can do. However, it has a steep learning curve that deters most poser programmers.
I''d just like to say that emacs is horrible, or at least that version of emacs (is it X-emacs or something) that involves all those stupid mouse+keyboard combination shortcuts.
Emacs is a great desktop environment and email client. Too bad it lacks a decent editor.

Honestly, they all suck. I haven''t bothered to actually look, but I have yet to encounter an editor that brings nirvana (PFE included). It doesn''t help that I include appearance as a criterion.

VI!

emacs seems too clunky. I like vi cause it''s seems so lightweight. It''s easy to learn the basic commands too.
I like the DARK layout!
SciTE owns all.
Ever since I downloaded it about 2 months ago, it''s all I use.
