Linux text editor = or > BBEdit

[Greg Hamilton]

emacs.

When you first try it you will think it is the stupidest piece of crap 
you've ever seen. Read the tutorial anyway and persist with it for a 
week or two until you've learnt the basic keyboard shortcuts. 
Eventually you'll start to wonder how you ever got any work done 
without it. Then you'll grow a long beard and start wearing sandals 
with socks and your standards of personal hygiene might slip a little 
but your general quality of life will be greatly improved and you 
probably had a hard time with the ladies anyway so umm .....

Anyway, emacs.
