My normal editor is Vim. Every six months or a year I try out a round of different editors and IDEs, but I always come back to Vim for things like one-slash search and one-line search-and-replace, that just seem more cumbersome in editors with dialogs. Vim's syntax highlighting sometimes breaks (e.g., when there's an apostrophe in a comment), but I just haven't liked other editors' syntax highlighting or indentation behavior as well, or the ability to have different windows for different files, or one window per directory.
My second favorite editor is Kate, which is pretty good for DocBook, but I haven't been satisfied enough with it for Python or HTML. I used to use nedit and I still find it elegant in some respects (one window per file, small window borders), but it's a bit 1990s primitive; e.g., the help screens look like an afterthought, so I'm not using it anymore.
