I use kwrite when on a GUI. When I can't avoid editing files remotely over ssh, I use nano. Why? I dislike Gnome's user-interface, and I find gedit slightly too underpowered and dumbed down for my taste. (Although it has a couple of nice features.) Of the KDE editors, kedit is too basic and I've never got into kate, although perhaps I should. kwrite has a nice clean, consistent UI that matches other KDE apps, instead of being hideously ugly like some apps I won't mention. As for nano, I dislike having to memorize obscure ctrl-alt-shift key combos to do the simplest thing. For a handful of small edits, nano is perfectly adequate, doesn't tax my memory, and does the job. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
