any good text editors?

[ddiamond]

I'm new to unix. What text editors would you recommend. I know a lot of people swear by VI, and some prefer emacs, but I'm wondering what other editors are out there.

kdevelop
eclipse
scite

Hope that helps a little... SCiTe is my favorite when it comes to a gui, though console-based, 'nano' is my favorite for its simplicity.

Hi

I prefer textmode editors, but not Vi or Emacs.
SetEdit - "A friendly text editor." "

http://setedit.sourceforge.net/

Motor - "text mode based programming environment for Linux/Unix"

http://konst.org.ua/motor/

But usually I use the Midnight Commander's internal editor.

On console, I use Midnight-Commander (mcedit) too.
On X11 I prefer scite (a lot of syntax is supported).
If appropriate, I use sed, the famouse stream-editor.

Eclipse is a IDE and much too big to call it an editor, while it contains an editor.

If you are a consultant or contractor, or have any inclination to be one in the future, you *MUST* learn VI, since it may be the only editor available when you go to a client site. If you're an employee at a company, you have the luxury of using a third-party editor.

I use vile. It has the finger-feel of VI and the macro language of microEMACS.
