  • Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
  • Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
  • This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

    nano on the linux command line, Sublime Text in the UI. Notepad++ in Windows.

    We had a similar poll or thread recently, didn't we? And in there, someone suggested both Geany and Notepadqq as Linux GUI alternatives, but they were both unsatisfying for me. I don't remember why. I think they weren't "saving" open files for me automatically. Maybe I'll go back and try again.

    I started using pico (now nano) because it felt like an easy transition from EVE.

      It wasn't marked as having been used, but you are correct - June 2nd to be precise!

      I apologise, and I will put out another one.

    Notepad++ on Windows (work) and Geany on Linux (home) or vim when I'm on the console/SSH.
