What sort of editor do you use for writing programs? I find Emacs to be the most intuitive and useful, for me. The key-bindings are easy to learn, the Emacs program can do a variety of amazing things (run shells, connect IRC, read newsgroups, browse the internet, etc) as well as format code according to a variety of different styles and is fully extendible in that you can write new commands for it using Emacs Lisp. Not to mention the fact that using Emacs leads to personal enlightenment.
Edit: Also, if you use something that wasn't listed but feel it's a prominent enough editor to be a category unto itself, just post that, and I will update the poll.

Well what I use depends on the size of program if it is small then I would use VIM, if it is big, like my current project, then I use Kdevlop which is a glorified kwirte app. I tried Emacs but I couldn't figure it out and it frustrated me I find VIM commands more natural.

Emacs is just too much for small scripts and not enough for big ones. vi is great for small things and TextMate or BBedit or TextWrangler is great for bigger things like websites.

You can't forget the complcated keyboard shortcuts, Crtl + Alt + Meta + (insert button here) what is up with that? Vi all keyboard shorcuts are eather a single key press or : and a letter.

Gedit/Kate. Oh and if you guys (ayselyn, vendion) would mind to write a small "how to vi/emacs". I know that there are a lot of documentation and so on but i kinda like to know stuff like your favourite commands exc. Just that those manual pages are horrible and extreamly booring to read when looking some simple keyhits.

Just that those manual pages are horrible and extreamly booring to read when looking some simple keyhits. The guild does have a how to on VI/VIM, we don't have one on emacs though. You can find it here http://webpages.charter.net/vendion/lugg/tricks.html#Vim I believe this is what you are looking for, it has little boring text that does not need to be read and more on keyboard shortcuts and how to issue commands to VIM with a brief description of what the command does.

I started using FTE a little bit ago and use it quite a bit now, it's pretty nice. Other than that I use nano and vim/vi.

You know, if you have vim installed you can type 'vimtutor' to get the interactive tutorial that teaches the basics of vim.

Nano is pretty functionless, but i like it plain and simple, if i want to search for a string in a file, or what ever i just use grep, sed, cat, or the python interpreter. Learning to use a text editor seems like a waste of time to me. Gedit is my second choice, because its funtion rich, and has a GUI, but GUIs probably also its downfall.
