Talking Editor

Partially as a joke, although I will be interested in seeing what people say:

What's the best editor for programming? Is it specific to any language/what language? What platform(s) does it run on? Why is it the "best?"

Or, be more thoughful and answer "What makes an editor good for programming?" (or answer any combination of the above. )

VIM

It's open source (Read: FREE), supports everything [that you'd need], and is easy to customize.

Re: Editor

Seriousely, I just use the native editor usually, and notepad/wordpad when I can't.
VB=VB
VC++=VC++
NQC=BrixCC
PIC C=MPLAB
PBASIC=PASIC
Psuedo Code=Notepad (Errr...)
html=Frontpage/notepad
bat=notepad

GET THE IDEA?

Wow! I can't believe noone mentioned emacs yet. I use emacs for everything. Granted that I mostly use perl (see cperl-mode in emacs), but if I used other languages, I'd use emacs for them as well. Emacs runs on pretty much anything I am pretty sure. The "unixes" are fine with it. There is also a windows version. It comes with many modes for different languages that include syntax high-lighting and other fun stuff. It also recognizes CVS files and has keys for cvs commands. A lot of people use emacs for a lot more. For example email and irc or whatever else one might want to do on a computer. Sometimes it is refered to as "editor and kitchen sink".

Re: Editor

Put your votes on the poll!

And for my vote of "other," I'll say I use NetBeans IDE a lot. (Me likes Java.) It's a memory hog though. 90 mb. And all it is a fancy text editor.
