Eclipse or Visual Studio. If it's just to impress girls, go for vi.

vim. Even emacser understood that emacs is inferior and therfore they created viper.

Implying viper wasn't created by relapsing Vimmers.
Vim is the C++ of text editors. Not a single thing is good about it.

Emacs is the Common Lisp of text editors, wonderful but bloated, ancient and needs to be modernized.

Girls would much more likely be impressed by some hipster coding away with TextMate on his MacBook than by a wild-eyed twitchy vimmer tapping furiously on his $10 keyboard.

This is unfortunately true. I impressed a girl yesterday with my $5000 MacBook Pro running TextEdit but she seemed unaffected by my emacs-fu. ;_;

I don't believe it. How can anyone be more impressed by a simple text editor than by an obscure 16-colour CLI?

I have found a significant positive correlation between being a horrible programmer and using vim, so I recommend you use it.

The recursion meme as in _{Emacs is a great OS, all it lacks is a good text editor is a great joke, all it lacks is not being done to death already} is a great meme, all it lacks is not being done to death already.

#include <stdlib.h>



int main(int argc, char **argv) {

    while (--argc)

        system(*++argv);

    return 0;

}

Is a great OS, all it lacks is a good oh wait...
