Vim. Enough said.

Pavan Mehta — the reminder is because the free version is supposed to be for evaluation only. If we as developers won't bother supporting developers, who will?? "Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use."

"Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use." I used to be a Sublime Text user a few years ago, and it is a great tool — Which is why I bought a license. "Perpetually" evaluating a software is not fair on the developers and, as developers, it is up to us to set the bar. I did mention I "used to be" a Sublime Text user, and that is exactly because of the speed you mention — Took some time to learn Vim, but the speed/productivity gain is immense. Never looked back. Oh, and it actually is free.
