It is not a text editor.
Well, not quite sure about that. The only time I edit a text file outside my IDE is when I connect directly to a server, and in that case I use vi. That seems ridiculous to chose Vi as my primary text editor, when 99.9% of my text editing is done in Intellij. Well I abstained in this case, however where do you draw the limit ? If there was a poll about "What is your primary IDE" would Vim or Emacs not be listed becau…
Vim/emacs are text editors and can be customized to act as IDE. IDEs are IDEs.
If asked What is your primary IDE, you can still say emacs or VIM

That probably didn't gain as much traction because half those items weren't text editors and he was missing a ton of IDEs to even make it a worthwhile poll in that regard. Plus Dreamweaver has no place in either such poll.

#76Vi != Vim
Yes, only nobody cares about and nobody uses vi anymore.
Even the "vi" mode in a lot of distros is vim with a compatibility flag. And people only use it in an unknown system to edit some admin files in a hurry.
Vi in 2013 == Vim.

Do you not find MS Word a little overkill for working with plain text? Surely at the very least you'd want something that defaulted to monospaced fonts and didn't add formatting to your selections.

Visual Studio works better than Word for plain text, but I rarely deal with text anyways, its always some kind of code. The only thing I don't use Visual Studio for is LaTeX, where TeXnicCenter works better.
