So, i can see that, there are apprx. 1% people here who likes Emacs.... why
the condition is like this?
You seemed to have jumped to conclusions... I decided to chip into to
make it approx 2%...
My choice: Emacs for coding, vim for simple scripting and writing
emails. vim is fast, and effective for quick edits. (I also love the
way it syntax highlights just about any type of configuration file!)
Emacs is bulky, but has great keyboard shortcuts for touch-typing.
Gedit sucks. Kate is great, but I stopped using it once I got used to
the emacs way of doing things. It definitely takes some effort to
learn emacs, but its worth it. [DISCLAIMER: personal opinion! I have
heard people from the other camp say exactly the opposite things]
Also, emacs has a psychotherapist. :P
