What Command Line Text Editor Do You Use Most?

[jakkuh_t]

the title says it all. nano is my fav. ;D

[Dat Guy]

ed, sometimes nvi. Sorry, can't vote for any of both because you didn't include them. 

 

I also use Emacs a lot - but it has a GUI. 

[Sprawlie]

VI(m).

 

I deal with dozens of client's running a lot of different variances of *nix for their servers. the ONLY thing consistent accross Linux, AIX, BSD, etc, is VI.

Vim...

 

nano when I'm feeling lazy and can't remember commands.

[BurningSmile]

[KuJoe]

vim FTW!

[Fetzie]

If I know it has vim installed, then vim. Otherwise vi (because as far as I know there is no linux distribution without it).

[Mira Yurizaki]

I use vim, only because I know the commands and nano, while it tried its best with modifier key based shortcuts, royally screws with my mind because CTRL+X is not "close file" to me no matter how much I want to try.

Gentoo, because Gentoo ignores POSIX.
