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...
