currently I'm learning Emacs, and I'm loving it. For quick tasks (i.e.: config file, glue scripts) if emacs is not running (i.e.: connected on a server) then Vim. For really stupid things, cat ;)

Hmm, I've always found it odd how many people say they use emacs, but not for "quick" tasks. It's not like it takes long to start it up -- on my machine, emacs -f kill-emacs takes 0.12 seconds.

  edu@galileo:~$ time emacs -f kill-emacs

  real    0m1.421s
  user    0m0.092s
  sys     0m0.052s

  edu@galileo:~$ time vim --cmd :q

  real    0m0.016s
  user    0m0.008s
  sys     0m0.004s

  edu@galileo:~$ time emacs -f kill-emacs

  real    0m0.136s
  user    0m0.068s
  sys     0m0.044s
