Same here. I even use a common .vimrc setup :-)

I voted for Nano, as it's the only one of these editors I use. By choice, I use mp, but nano's not bad as a spare editor.

I like to use nano for console based editing tasks (like small configuration files). But jEdit is just so fantastic for programming, so I voted for it.

I turned away from (x)emacs after all the thousand initialisation files (lisp code mixed with settings) nearly made me insane.
Now I am happily developing jEdit with jEdit

Won't vote since I have seen the results before voting and the fact that I don't use much or editors in UniX

vim, most of the time. Yes, it's awesome, and there's still a lot of functionality I haven't explored yet.
Sometimes, when I feel like keeping a dozen files open the same time, I use Bluefish.

vi is to editors as the Yankees are to baseball:
The most popular, but also the most hated......
