There is only a "best" editor if you aare convinced that only oine measure is important, allowing you to place all editors on a single straight line and declare the one that appears furthest to the left or right the "best".When not using the interactive prompt, what are you using? I keep hearing everyone say Emacs, but I can't understand it at all. I keep trying to learn and understand why so many seem to like it because I can't understand customization even without going through a hundred menus that might contain the thing I am looking for (or I could go learn another language just to customize!).
Personally I like SciTE, it has everything I think a midweight editor should: code folding, proper python support, nice colors out of the box, hotkey access to compile (I'm sure emacs does this, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me how), etc.
Opinions on what the best is? Or reading I could get to maybe sway me to Emacs (which has the major advantage of being on everyone's system).
In practice, of course, different people value different editor characteristics, so there are a multitude of opinions about which is "best".
