Vim is my text editor of choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also the alternative of using [[Emacs]], which is a great text editor in its own right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only problem that I have with [[Vim]] is its design philosophy; it was designed to be a text editor, and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;only&amp;#039;&amp;#039; a text editor.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is really what makes [[Emacs]] more powerful: [[Emacs]] can interface with external programs (like gdb, make, and the shell) in a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;natural&amp;#039;&amp;#039; way (although it&amp;#039;s possible to do with Vim, it&amp;#039;s messy and feels hacked), it provides ways (e.g. Dired) to rename files and interact with the shell in the text editor environment, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall I think [[Vim]] wins out on shortcuts, modes, and the ease of keyboard interaction, but [[Emacs]] wins my vote for most versatile text editor.&lt;br /&gt;
