What is your favorite text editor?

In the Windows environment, I use TSE Pro (The Semware Editor).
It is a full block and column type editor with a full Pascal-based macro language for those willing to experiment.
I've used it since 1985 when it was first called "Qedit".

I've never found an equivalent for the 'nix world.
Then again, I don't have a need either.
 
I was a nano user on Linux, as well, but after switching to FreeBSD, I was happy to find that it has editors/nano...
Yeah, I know FreeBSD has editors/nano but I'd like to use the one that comes with the base system. I wasn't a professional nano user, just basic text editing, not knowing much shortcuts of nano. ee(1) was a good editors/nano alternative, now i got used to editors/vim and it's very powerful compared to these two imo. I wish the vi(1) in base was supporting deleting by backspace, that confuses me sometimes.
