Eric, It may be more religious than functional. If you like Wordstar-like control codes in an editor, there is Joe and others. If you like cryptic-but- powerful command structures, there is VI/VIM. If you like configurable and customizable, then there is EMACS. There is something for everyone.
Just remember, no one editor is the cat's meow.

There seems to be a lot of controversy over what the best editor is for Linux. On the IBM Linux Tools for Developers page that someone posted, I counted approximately 53 different Linux editors. I guess as several have pointed out, I will have to learn a little VI to get by, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
