Just for fun and discovery.

Same as for distros and DE/WM.

Share your own, as an image, or just a written list. :)

Mine:

;) I didn’t want to wait and see if @misty@lemmy.zip would make a text editor one. So I just made my own. :)

    Fave: I don’t really do favourites, but I tend to reach for nano because it’s usually installed and I prefer it to the vi family.

    First: The 8-bit Commodore screen editor was hard to beat for its time, so let’s go with that, even though I probably used the BBC Micro arrow / copy system before that.

    Future: Heck if I know. I installed micro but haven’t touched it yet. Maybe one day I’ll get around to that. Or an IDE. So probably nano.

    Honourable mention: An editor I worked on for a project once. There’s something to be said for editing an editor’s source code inside itself.

    Loathed: ed / edlin

    Current: Let’s go with nano again, but I do lot more typing on command lines and in browser text boxes, like this one.

    Longest: If pico counts as proto-nano, then definitely nano. Been using that since the '90s.
