    Emacs, of course!

    In all operating systems.
    I gonna admit that I fall into this camp as well. I use Emacs everywhere - Windows, Unix, Linux, etc. Back in the old days, whenever we got new systems, the first thing I did was install emacs.

    Windows = Notepad ++
    Linux = VIM or VI (Not a fan of NANO yet, then again I am old school)

    Wow, talk about a bump.

    Nano in Linux (don't do much serious editing outside of revisions and commenting out lines) and notepad in my Windows work environment. I use them because they're simple and concise.

    I use open office writer at home because I don't have an office license and it's close enough to get the job done (for resumes, school work, etc).

    Nano or vim on a server, gedit or sublime with linux gui, notepad++ on windows.

    Sublime is one of the cooler pieces of software I have run across lately. Very powerful, without being bloated.

    Notepad++ in Windows. Been trying to really learn vim though so I've been using gvim as well. Typically vim in linux, occasionally geany if I'm in a gui and want that tabbed feel of notepad++.

    I've heard good things about sublime text but haven't given it a try yet.

    Sublime Text looks really cool and powerful... but 70 dollars!
