Emacs is so good, it's listed twice to dilute the votes and give other editors a chance.

As an emacs user I voted for both and I'm pretty sure most emacs users did the same. This doesn't really dilute it but gives the impression that emacs is more popular (that and we yell louder).

Sublime Text for code, Mou for editing Markdown, iA Writer when I need to write long form blog posts. I also occasionally use Google Docs & Pages when I need to edit documents for college.

Mou, to the best of my knowledge, provides the best real-time live preview of Markdown code. iA Writer really helps when you need to focus (had tried Byword previously but didn't impress me -- maybe I'll give it a try again.) And, well, what can one say about Sublime? Love it.
