No Geany, please :) If not in the list, pick 'Other' and tell us ;)

Since I rarely use Emacs in no-X, I go with one of my all time favorites: nano.
It helped A LOT configuring different distros in the past, I'll always have good words for nano.

Same here. As much as I love emacs for everything except of editing, I prefer nano for all the quick and dirty things.

Ofcourse vim in a emacs ansi-term :D

...and WordPad in a virtual machine? :D

^ Are you crazy ? Wine comes with a notepad.exe :D

Put emacs, though I often use zile for quick edits. Emacs without the bloat.

^ zile, I knew I forgot one :D

I voted vim

nano... my needs are few.

I have only vim installed. ;)

Nano <3 :)

Geany-cli. ah no, shit, doesn't exist. nano it is :D

When I use nano my file is intertwined with

Drumroll...surprise...nano, meh.

vi improved ;)

sandy is a little rough around the edges, but has the neat feature of detecting emacs or vi controls :o

^ I managed to segfault sandy several times (but e3 too!) :D

^ per the idea of sandy (that is, a simple editor that gets out of your way) I've read that GNU zile is now no longer an mg-esque minimal emacsen but a sort of meta-editor. I've not investigated it fully, but a low-resource basic editor that emulates emacs, vi, windows (C-c & C-v), and CUA based on watching the user's keyboard mashing would be very useful. Could even replace nano! :o

^ didn't know about this. Apparently the version in the Sid repos is still from 2014, and it emulates Emacs. Will check later on the dev's homepage.

You can have a try with e3, it's quite small, comes with vi, emacs, wordstar and nano mode ;)

I use zile on my VPS. It could certainly trick you into thinking you were using Emacs! Great editor.
