What text editor are You using? Why?

In Windows I tend to use Notepad++ for editing config files and basic scripts. However, if you want a real powerful text editor I highly recommend *Vim*. I know it's become a clich but Vim seriously is the most powerful and efficient text editor I have ever used. You can install a Vim plugin for Sublime or VSCode I believe which should make it even more powerful.

In case you've never heard of Vim before:
Vim is a simple text-editor written for the Unix terminal and focuses on efficiency and speed. It succeeds at this by using _only_ the keyboard, no mouse action is required at all (or is even really possible). It uses several hotkeys and commands that are somewhat intuitive.
For example if you wanted to delete 3 words forward from the cursor you could type:

Or if you wanted to move the cursor down 5 lines you would type:


A little disclaimer, learning Vim can take a lot of time however I think it's definitely worth the effort if not for the speed then for pure style and sense of elitism that comes with it.
