Helga@itsfoss Nano or Gedit, simple, just works.

Because being able to do everything without moving your hands too much is just so great.

Alessandro Scapuzzi@itsfoss vim e notepadqq del mio amico Daniele 😉
Jimmy Sjölund 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@itsfoss Doom Emacs. It's got all the features I need while when I was using vim I had to use other apps for kanban, time management, etc. Now it's all in Emacs. And Doom Emacs as I got tired of fiddling with my configs to make stuff work and now it just ready made and works.
demiguiseNeovim, because of all the plugins and possibilities
Idaho@itsfoss notepad++ easy to use and powerful at the same time..
grob (teeth era) 🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@itsfoss npp & helix
Ein Philosophiker@itsfoss neovim, because it runs in all BSDs and Linuxes and has so many plugins
nexus$@itsfoss vscodium because it is easy to use.
Pablo 🍉@itsfoss vim for terminal and short stuff. Qtcreator for big c++ projects. Yesterday I tried Kate again and loved it. It has the vscode vibes but it’s really fast
AlperY@itsfoss 
because I can script the plugins. Doom 
because I don't need to script the plugins. It's heresy

Maik Derstappen@itsfoss on terminal vim, on desktop vs code.
sergio_250501@itsfoss I like nano because I'm still a noob and it's the more familiar one.
I don't like vim because of the same, but vim seems to like me, because once started it doesn't want to leave.
I'll test the ones people mention here.

@itsfoss neovim, because I care about my pinkie
Massimo Luciani
Dominik Tomić@itsfoss nano. It's simple
cqd_sosEmacs, because of Gnus, Org and Magit. Vi for quick edits.
Steve ButmanKate for most tasks.
Nano when I need to make a quick change to a small file.
OpenSoul ✅
Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂In most cases, Nano. With Gui for coding, Geany, otherwise Kate.
Stanislav JermářAtlantis - it is simple and powerful
Bipo the Clown@itsfoss
nano on the terminal, kate for everything else.

Paul 保羅@itsfoss gedit because I'm lazy. But once upon a time, it was Atom: cross platform and hackable.
).
publius@It's FOSS My favorite text editor would be vi or any of it's variances because one can use it instinctively.
@itsfoss notepad plus plus for me. It's my goto for coding or just notes from my brain.
SouthFresh@itsfoss VSCode with VIM bindings, not because that's my choice, but that's what I found on a system I had to use and it was really confusing.
jakob 🇦🇹 ✅
Nova Cat@itsfoss Kate, but sometimes nano or nvim
lorax@itsfoss 100% NeoVim! I feel restrained by any other text editor. The extensibility is incredible and the vim motions and shortcuts are second nature at this point. When I do have to use VSCodium, I immediately install the Vim plugin
@lorax You know what you want. 😃
Adam Sparks
Stech Linux@itsfoss I prefer nano as I am the most used to it. In some cases I use gedit.
Thomas Traynor@itsfoss For me it is geany. I do a bit of coding and it works well for what I need it to do.
remboo@itsfoss
I use mostly micro, sometimes Kate.
At work I use notepad++ for it's powerful featuers and ISPF editor, bacause that's how you roll on a mainframe.
Sai Bhargav@itsfoss Nano in terminal & geany for gui
