What's your favorite text editor? I'm not looking for a full-on IDE, but just a lightweight, everyday editor.

gedit, Kate, atom

atom and brackets amd vi

sublime, atom

Sublime Text

notepad++

joe and geany

Atom and Caret (Chrome OS app)

Vim

Atom, brackets, code

vim on Linux Notepad++ on Windows. (never use windows)

ultraedit on windows(pretty feature-rich), atom on my debian machines

Atom! Free, full featured, with the plugins it becomes god-featured, also with a lot of themes!
I don't want to make a shit load, but I used also sublime text and I think its not worth the money, when there is something like atom that is free...
If you do not agree you don't have to downvote

emacs

I use notepad++ and vim everyday

Sublime.

@cs8898 what OS do you use? it works perfectly fine on my MacBook Air running OS X version 10.11.5

@cs8898 yeah i actually used to have a windows laptop and it would lag a lot. it's most likely just windows; i'm sure it would work fine on linux
