They work for bill gates and spew bull shit on the net about linux. Gdit is a note pad trash program ejaculated from the Windows XPness of Bill Gates. As he rapes the linux community with spermbuntu operating system

Very nice article!
Except there are some mistakes in it. Nano was developed for only one reason, I’ll quote it from the nano manual page :
“nano is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package.”
(By the way, the pine mail-reader has a free replacement look-alike called alpine).

Another mistake is your remark that pico is included by default on modern GNU/Linux systems, but that is certainly not the case for e.g. Debian and Ubuntu.
And I’d like to point out also that installing pine in FreeBSD (From ports) will give you a warning that pine is using insecure source code.

Furthermore, my all time favourite text editor Joe was missing in this list. Looking at the other comments I’m not the only one who likes it.

Thanks for the article!

My favorite: X File Write

It is installed as an integrated text editor when you install the XFE file manager package (also my favorite file manager). Runs fast and stays out of your way.

Kate is substantially better than almost all of these editors (with the possible exception of emacs and/or vim.) It REALLY should have been included. In fact the last linuxworld poll I saw had Kate the third most popular text editor used on Linux.

I sorry but ViM does have a GUI: gvim. What Cream does for gvim (not vim) is make it respond to conventional GUI commands. Normally gvim responds only to vi(1) commands.

Can’t say I know all of these but I was surprised there was no mention of Kate.

Agreed about JOE. It’s my favorite console-based text editor. Reminds me the most of edit.com from my MS-DOS days.

Ubuntu editors? There are no such things. Ubuntu has no editors whatsoever.

“It runs on all operating systems.”

With all due respect, NOTHING runs on all operating systems. Not all platforms have a free JVM port, some don’t even have one available for money, and some will run text-based Java apps but have no means for executing GUI applications.
