What does your favorite text editor say about you?

August 17th, 2007 by heathenx

Saw this article over at Linux Today. Interesting and funny. I’m a Notepad++, Gedit, and Kate user. I see he left out Kwrite. That’s another that I use.

    I’ve used a bunch of different text editors - for both coding and just text file editing. Some of them weren’t mentioned. In pseudo-chronological order then:

    Edit (in ms-dos)
    Notepad
    Wordpad (boy that thing blows - it’s still in XP though!)
    Borland Turbo C++ IDE (not just for coding even for editing normal text files)
    MegaEdit (i’ve still got a working copy of this as a matter of fact)
    DevC++ (again, not just for coding)
    Notepad++
    Notepad2
    Gedit
    Geany
    Vim

    I was always swift enough to stay away from Word and Wordperfect as text editors.

    BTW - contrary to the article, Gedit does have syntax highlighting (and so does Vim of course).

    I’ve heard good things about Kate (the editor) from a lot of different sources.
