You can NOT tell or ask which one, people have different minds. You will use what you like, and NOT tell others what they like. If you want to feel at home with UNIX and OpenBSD, it's recommended you make acquaintance with several classes of line, stream and text editors (and possibly hex editors) both in their minimal and complete versions. Several text editors live in the OpenBSD operating system base: ed - line editor [http://man.openbsd.org/ed] sed - stream editor [http://man.openbsd.org/sed] ex, vi, view - text editors [http://man.openbsd.org/vi] mg - emacs-like text editor [http://man.openbsd.org/mg] xedit - simple X text editor [http://man.openbsd.org/xedit] Much more text editors are install ready from OpenBSD packages & ports: [http://openports.se/editors/] [http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/editors/] Brief guide for installing additional software on OpenBSD: Packages and Ports [http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html] Porter's Handbook [http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/] Other text editors for general information are listed here: List of text editors (incomplete) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_text_editors] List of text editors (less than complete) [http://texteditors.org/] Editor war [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war] OpenBSD has mailing lists details netiquette here: [http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html] There is a rough guide for following netiquette for other resources: Ask Questions The Smart Way [http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html] Do your homework, and follow what people told you in this thread.
