1. Emacs is the only real choice for programming.
2. Ed is the standard for all other tasks.
3. Vi is a bad version of ed for morons who can't remember what they're working on.
4. Vim is vi wishing it were Emacs.
5. IDEs are hardly ``integrated''. They're like a gated community in the middle of nowhere.

ITT: Emacs, faggots. Because it's a programming board, and Emacs is for programming.

textMate and starbucks.
"but starbucks isn't a text editor."
why not? its very important for my work, it helps me concentrate... it's a tool, and it's always there when im coding. in that sense, its a text editor just like vi or eclipse.
Notepad when I'm using windows, Gedit on Linux. If I'm on the console or ssh, I usually can slog through with vi or vim. I just discovered nano, though, and it is much nicer.

Gedit, Notepad++, Eclipse and (God help me) Microsoft Visual Studio++

Student here, I just use emacs, although I use Eclipse with Java. The reason is that everything else I have to do in Java is made to be used with Eclipse, so it's a lot less pain using Eclipse.
Off course, they never tell you to use Eclipse, so all of the newbies start of on drJava, which is shit. To the point where they don't even think enough to make the text look nice. It's a text editor, where you look at text all day. Make it look nice, ffs.
I use gedit for text editing even though it is not a ``true'' editor like vim/emacs/ed. However, I try to be productive rather than look like a skiddie CLI-using faggot, so it doesn't bother me.

When I code I don't want extra MEGABYTES of clicky IDEs, auto-complete, syntax highlight and cursor positioning code. I just want an EDitor.
Not a "Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Express Professional Edition 2010". Not a "viitor".
ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!

Why? I know a lot of IDEs have lots of jingles and bells you'll never need, but if you have a lot of code clicking between the pieces is way faster... Just don't use the features you don't need... or just enlight me, since I have worked with IDEs from the start
>>30 Just don't use the features you don't need
Think of the bloat! Think of the children!
Editors are much more lightweight and powerful than those bloated monsters. The GNU/Bloat's ed(1) is 40kb, VC++ is... 30mb? 200mb? Even emacs is lighter than that, and much more powerful/useful.

Depends on language:
c++ => M$ VC++ EE or QtCreator ( Love autocomplete in last one. )
c# => M$ VC# EE
Java => NetBeans
Any other language:
When on Linux: MCEdit/gedit
When on Windows: Notepad++
