What's your favorite text editor?
🤖 Seirdy
Neovim. Can be lightweight or can be a full IDE with the language-server protocol and tree-sitter, or anything in between. Scriptable in Lua (with LuaJIT) because VimScript sucks. A keybind lets me edit any textarea in a floating nvim window, including this one.

Sometimes I use atom, I hate it because it's slow to open. Too lazy to change it as I rarely use text editors. Small tweaks are made with native tools as they are fast and effective. (right-click>edit results in TextEdit on MacOS and Notepad on Windows) Documents in full feature software. Software dev in IDE with debugging tools. Vim or nano when I'm on linux as most gui software on linux is god awful.

Emacs, but I can use ed and vi when they're better suited to a given task.

Emacs too... I know enough of vi to quit (without saving) 🤘 But I can use nano when I'm forced to ;)

I also use emacs now. Been learning it for the past few month and having lots of fun learning elisp too!
🤘 Matthew
Oddly enough, I've only just started using regex in emacs. Whenever I needed to edit with regexps before, I'd switch to vi.

I feel compelled to mention emacs' re-builder, in case someone doesn't know about it masteringemacs.org...

I actually love that! Have you created a bookmark to get to that? Really smart.

Actually it's nano with all custom settings enabled: autoindent, historylog, linenumbers, softwrap, tabstospaces.
Miso
I've never taken the time to learn nano yet, looks like a simple yet powerful editor.
🤘 Matthew
nano's solid. If I hadn't first been exposed to emacs and vi in college, I might have gone with nano as $EDITOR. It does a good job of exposing basic functionality to inexperienced operators, but becomes more powerful with experience.
