I can almost agree with what's written above, except for one minor but
important detail. If you can use an editor that suits your needs both in
console and GUI environment, both for assembly, Perl, Python, Java, C, C++
and whatever else you find yourself writing, an editor that can easily be
adopted to editing plain text email messages, theses in LaTeX, or even to
browse the source code of an operating system... why would you want to
torture yourself with a strange, difficult to use editor?

I think for a lot of people, myself included the choice of editor often comes down to the KISS principle,
all I really need from an editor is a means of putting data in and changing it around in a comfortable manner,
I tend to spend most of my time using easy edit (default editor if you didnt know) quite often even while in X
although I also use gedit, it has all the functionality i need and syntax highlighting to boot which makes it handy
for perl work but since i do a lot of my editng over ssh sessions it doesnt get used that often :)
