I used Emacs for 11 years, but gave it up in 2004 for wily/acme-sac/acme. Now I use Acme (running in hosted Inferno) to edit all text files, mostly shell scripts and notes. My favorite shell dialect is Inferno's sh. My favorite text stream editor is sed (because I can use it in scripts), followed by the sam-like Edit command in Acme.
I have many favorite languages for different tasks, because I don't try to make one language do everything, and it takes less time and effort to make a language do things for which it was designed.
My favorite functional language is Haskell, my favorite systems language is Go (I should do more Limbo programming in Inferno), and my favorite object-oriented language is Ruby.
My favorite production-dependency-management language is my own build tool credo, followed by Plan 9's mk.
My favorite document language is UTF-8, followed by LaTeX if I actually have to make it look pretty.
