Okay, you brought it up !  ;-)

EMACS.

If you use Unix, then this is your supersuite.  This is your Microsoft 
Office for plaintext editors.

Pros:
Easier to learn than vi
Many man many many many features
Supercustomizeable
Integrates tightly with Unix operating system

Cons:
A little on the bloatware side
vi is more widely available (at least it was back in the early 80s when 
a few MB of disk space was a big deal)
vi is much more slim

Knowing vi is useful, but I find I'm much more productive in emacs.  And 
when I want to use an Aqua-compatible editor, I use BBEdit lite because 
I'm poor and it's pretty good (a tiny bit buggy on OS X).  There's 
actually an emacs for OS X that I haven't gotten around to trying yet, 
maybe I'll give the compile a shot tonight.
