Sorry have never even thought about editing the text editor O.o

If you're planing on doing some serious work, you _need_ an editor that you can mold to fit your personal workflow.

That said, I have been using Vim for quite a while. I always have a couple of instances running, and I even use it for text areas in Firefox, thanks to Vimperator (I'm writing this post in Vim right now). Before that, I was using Geany, but the "leetness" of Vim made me switch.

I have tried Emacs, and I like how customizable it is. But I noticed that I was using this feature to make it behave more like I was used to from my Vim setup, instead of adjusting myself to the ways of Emacs. So I gave up, and went back to Vim.

If you don't have any experience with those two, I recommend checking both of them before you start getting used to one, see which one suits you better, and go from there. Adjusting to an editor is easier if you start from zero than switching later, after you got used to one already.
