The disputed king of the programmers world, always vying for first with vi, Emacs comes in two flavors: GNU Emacs and XEmacs. GNU tends to be the favored flavor. It runs on most platforms.

This editor is not for the faint of heart. It is fully programmable, using a custom dialect of Lisp. Like vi, the keystroke combinations are what scare off most new users. Once mastered, the ability to quickly manipulate text files is unmatched.
