Hi list,
	One of the key separations between the "(wo)men" and "boys(girls)"  
when it comes to coding seems to be the tools one uses.  I'm  
interested, specifically, in text editors.  I remember firs finding  
out, around the age of 8, that computers were programmed in nothing  
more complicated than a text file.  Now, I would shortly come to  
understand the exact complexities involved in that abstraction, but  
the statement is still mostly true.  The question I have for y'all  
is:  How do YOU code?  There's such a wide range of tools out there,  
from texteditir, notepad, vi.. to IDE's like Eclipse and Xcode. What  
software do you use to write your code?

--Just to be clear, I'm not asking for a recommendation, but I am  
hoping that the thread will help to open up options for myself and  
others.  Just to start the ball rolling:

I use TextWrangler on a mac, notepad++ on  Windows, and usually nano  
on Linux.
I'd be really interested in a programmers text editor with syntax  
highlighting, etc on Linux though.
