Vi editor is the first edit I used in Unix when I was in the university. Even though it does not have an impressive user interface and not easy to use at the first time like the others but it is powerful and fast in searching text in a editing file. If you remember main keys of Vi, you can edit a file without using a mouse. It can open very hug file , more than 100 MB or may be several GB that some editors cannot do. The other thing I like are that the command mode that enable you to move lines around file or replace text with a few efforts.
Present, I still use Vi for sometimes and learning to use another editor called Emac. I heard about this editor since I was in the university as well. My prof. told me that it is an elegant editor that most Unix developers use. It has many features that enable coding and editing more easy and productive. Not surprise, after learning it for a few days now I understand what my prof. means. With combination of control and character keys, it provide a lot of ways of editing experience; file and directory searching, multiple windows for editing, shell command running and buffer handling. Also, integrated with famous version control systems and diff tools. I just begin using and learning all basics and tips to get the most out of it.
