If I'm in KDE I usually use Kate. If at the CLI, I like the midnight
commander editor (if mc is installed). Otherwise I flip/flop between vi
and pico. Not overly fluent in vi, and not overly impressed with pico.
Way back in the DOS days I used to use an editor called TED (Tiny
EDitor) which was a PC Mag. utility. Small, fast, and beat the pants
off edlin. The mc editor is similar. Best thing since sliced beer.
Um, bottled bread. Er, whatever.
If I'm doing more than just a quick edit of a .conf file the color and
nesting in Kate is quite handy. Don't do much scripting or programming
so my needs are pretty humble...
