i use Nano for most command-line stuff (.conf editing, etc.) and VIM for HTML editing and stuff like that...

Vim ftw! It just feels right, and it's easy to use once you learn how.

Although, I must say, when I'm coding a website, I enjoy using kate. Normally, I dislike using KDE applications, but... I've grown to like kate. It's easy to coding multiple pages at once in it. However, for normal config. file edits, vim is my friend Smile

I voted vi, though pico is more user freindly to n00bs it's also not something you find on every box, so knowing the basics of vi really becomes a must.
