Some of the most heated debates occur on the best text editor to edit with. I have pretty much used nano/pico most of the time, but it a very simple editor. I find it difficult to move around my code. So, pico kind of sucks unless it’s for small changes here and there. Of course, there’s smultron which I use all the time, but i don’t like switching between apps to see what’s happening.

Next emacs vs vi:

My major problem with emacs is that I like my keys and use them all the time to move around my Apple. There are too many shortcuts which clash. Also, the problem with the meta keys. so no.

vi, similiar key bindings no matter whereever u go, linux, unix or mac. no intereference with apple shortcuts. small and powerful .

So, VI it is!!
