I'd go with EMACS. But I do use NANO for normal text text editing.

I like leafpad and nano

I haven't played with Linux in years. I have no idea what I used then. Red hat 6.0 might have been the last distribution I used.

I start with vim, get annoyed as I try to learn it, and eventually go back to nano. Getting a little farther each time though.

Have to ask... CLI or GUI.
CLI = pico
GUI = IDK... no need for one in GUI

There can be only one. VI simply because it is part of every distro I have ever used.

I tend to use nano when I am working in the command line. As for while in the DE, I have no preference.

it's fast, it has bolt-on functionality, and it is very robust.
