Choosing a text editor
The humble (and often, not-so-humble) text editor. It can be a wonderful thing. I know more than a few people who are zealous about their editors, and view them in the same way that they view their toothbrushes. Yes, they’re that hardcore.
You might be writing an article, either in straight text or with Markdown or Textile. You might be editing the HTML of your web site. You might be peeking at a shell script. Or you might just be taking a peek at a README file or change log for some software that you’re about to install. Pulling those kinds of files into a word processor is overkill.
Those are situations in which text editors are very handy. But with so many editors out there for the Linux desktop, how do you choose the one that’s for you?
