It's that time again!

I voted for nano, but in retrospect I should've specified other and put this:

Notepad++ on the Windows Machine, vim on the Ubuntu Laptop.

Vim, definitely.

nano Textmate. Didn't realize we could specify our own.

Why can't I vote twice?
nano for cli editing, geany or np++ in a graphical enviro

clarification: nano cause I can't work vi/m properly, I'm a noob, yada yada, but also cause it just seems to work the way it should. Obviously it's not as deliciously verbose as vi but I don't usually need that level of control over my configs.

metapad—a lightweight Notepad replacement—for regular textual work and note-taking, ConTEXT for programming-related work. And vim on Linux.

Notepad++ on win

TextMate on OS X (for all 1 of you that may care), I really wish this was on windows

Oh, shit, I really should've added that, actually. All of the Macfags I work with swear by it.

it crashes a lot. every time the directory structure changes or a new file finds its way into the depths of the project folder, textmate takes it upon itself to extremely slowly rescan /everything/ and this leads to annoyingly persistent pinwheels of death. every now and then it will also just crash for no damned reason when you give focus back to it from another application. whatever it uses to grep through the project is an extremely slow implementation and it takes forever and then some (pinwheels) to get results. also it costs /fifty-two dollars what the fuck/.

granted there really isn't anything else to use for programming on a mac, so sure it would seem relatively swear-worthy.

[x]emacs? vim?

THIS ENTIRE POST IS WRONG
i am going to vi leaving the god forsaken aqua-compliant tardware behind

http://geany.darwinports.com/ ? Granted it's an old release, but still, geany is pretty A+. you could probably just build it from source for mac as is, you do that for linux.
That or just suck it up and use the terminal :P

The only part of this that is remotely true for me is the last sentence. Maybe you're using an old version or something.

I've had the same experience with it is incluye, although the projects I've used it on have maxed out at about 30 files.

On a slight tangent, but if you do web work, this might as well be the god of editors: Code

I opened / once in TextMate, and it didn't crash--it wasn't usable, exactly, but I could still make new files and delete them.

i run the updates as often as they appear, it's not my fault it's crap. that or the mac it's running on is crap.
no, the 27 inch imac is not very old. i shouldn't complain, though. i can't hardly expect anything would run properly on one anyways. because nothing does. .__.

back on topic, my vote is now solidly secured in vim for mac, although i'm still trying to find something for developing in windows. notepad++ has weird issues in w7 with chrome, and won't bring itself in front of it on focus, and for some reason slows to a halt when you try moving toolbox windows around. i end up just using IDLE for python or notepad for anything else. i've looked into some other editors and found http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ , but the gimmicky toolbars are pretty off-putting. turning them off works just as well, and otherwise the syntax highlighting and project window are all i really want.

I have w7, Chrome and N++ and do not have that issue.

Well, we've already established that maki is some sort of freakish magnet for misfortune.

In Linux, I open up vim.
In Windows, I take a second to ponder why I'm doing development work in Windows, start cygwin, and then open up vim.

Dude, this is awesome. I'm making you admin again.

I was hoping more people here still used DOS. Woe is me.

Fuck DOS. Nobody uses DOS.

DOS is the most reliable, stable OS. There, I said it.

I prefer linux. Also, what Tsukatu said.
