I second the nomination for Vim, for another important reason.  I 
hate switching editors.  So, er... huh?

Vim runs everywhere.  I can wander from platform to platform and not 
have to worry whether something capable is available.  That was 
really something I needed back when (15+ years) when Windows was so 
badly served.  Still using it, even on Solaris!  ;-)

Now if you like learning new editors, or having 2 or 3 "in your 
pocket", fine.  But I've not yet found something I couldn't do in 
Vim.  Hey I rarely need to edit in binary, but it can do it.  And 
hacking Unicode isn't so revolutionary now, but was possible with Vim 
before some other editors.  Good pedigree, barks on command, etc., etc.
