I know I'm not going to convince everyone, and I know that there are other advanced options that compete (people tell me I'm missing out because I don't use an IDE with all the auto complete stuff).
But I see a lot of people using a text editor that's basically notepad, possibly with syntax highlighting. For an occasional edit that's fine, but if you regularly spend more than an hour editing a file, you would benefit from more features.
Vim has a lot if features I don't know, so I think I'm also missing out (until I learn those features). It takes investment of time to learn an advanced tool.
I'm curious, what text editor do you use?
