I suppose I'm firmly in the vi camp.  So much so that when I'm in a GUI I find 
myself opening a terminal window to vi a text file or write a script, even 
though kate is only a click away (I mainly use KDE these days).  Kate has lots 
of modules for autoindenting and colorizing things like bash scripts, perl, c, 
etc.  When I remember to use it it is very nice.  Kate will even open a remote 
file over the network as long as you have ssh access, so I suppose there's 
really no excuse not to use it from my workstation.

But I usually remember it after I've written the script in a terminal window 
with vi.  And when I do use it, I always have to take the :wq out of the file 
when I'm done, which is annoying when I just wanted to change one thing.

Maybe it's not so much vi (since I don't even use the full power of vi, much 
less learning a system like emacs) as that I treat KDE as a mechanism to have 
more than one shell session open without having to tab-Fn between them.

Cheers,

James
