Master one editor well. 2. Use the editor you mastered for many purposes from editing programs in any language to making documents, writing mails and system administration. vi and/or emacs usually fit the bill. They are compact, fast etc. beside being highly customizable. Now some people give them up pre-maturely calling/perceiving them as `not user-friendly'. I can write a long essay on `what is user-friendly' and why vi/emacs are very much so. But it will suffice to say that user-friendliness and learning curve should not be confused. In short my vote will be for a generic, yet extremely powerful editor, whichever it may be, because the effort one puts in mastering it pays off in every single activity you do as mentioned above.
