For me, the best editor in Unix Like and Unix operation systems.
I like Vim a lot. Unfortunately I never really pushed myself to switch completely from Textmate to Vim, although I think it would be a great replacement.
I will never understand how anyone can prefer that bloated, weird emacs thingy to gvim ... :-)
Surely it has a steep learning curve, but one you got the basic commands you'll start to love this one. Vim is the most efficient text editor I know, it fully replaced Notepad++ for me.
About the user interface: I turned off both the menu bar and the toolbar, so I don't really care. Vim is best used without any mouse. So what? ...
Most powerful and comfortable text editor I've ever used. It's not easy to learn but then very efficiency to use. I like Vim for its modes and dislike Emacs for its C-commands.
The graphical version (gvim) is user friendly and you can use it on any platform. It is very powerful (even if I heard that emacs is more powerful) and it is free! :-D
One of powerful editor, but NOT user friendly.
May not be user-friendly, but once you come to terms with its uniqueness, you will embrace it as a lover.
not user friendly at all .... you should get used to it
It's the editor my fingers know best.
Best editor in the world
Gvim on Windows Chinese characters can not even show...
My preferred tool
Blazing fast. Extendable with numerous plugins. Works anywhere, even via ssh.
What else do you need from an editor, seriously?
I think most of the time you use vim or emacs on linux, but why Linux(27%) windows(70%)?
VIM!
