The best text-editor of all times. Even better than Vi. Millions of features, and entirely customisable. Not this long to load that Vi-fans would say. Emacs is available on almost every unix based system you can imagine, and also on Windows. With its tons of keyboard shortcuts and key bindings (also customisable), you will produce code faster you you have ever done
Vi is the only text editor I know in which you have to type commands to insert text...
