I've been using either TextEdit, Notepad++, or vim for the past as long as I can remember. But I feel like my life is too easy these days, and I'm walking around not being angry enough at computers, so it's time to spice up the ol' text love life. Should I switch to emacs? I don't do any coding, most of what I use text editors for is to look like a hacker whilst screensharing.

I edited CIV2 files so much more efficiently in np++ versus boring windows notepad.

In fact, the only proper use case for notepad.exe is as a chat platform with the user you're remote-cjing.

Thanks everyone. Looks like the poll says vim is still the best so I've been making the right decision all these years and will continue to make that decision. Remain blessed!
