IMHO. *grin* I like gedit for quick edit jobs in X (along the lines of jove or nano on the console), and jEdit for longer, more involved editing (most notably, programming bigger than quick hacks). I used to use XEmacs. I like jEdit because it's a lot like XEmacs (and, to a lesser degree, GNU Emacs), but it was designed for the GUI from the ground up, and it shows. For example, it's much easier to customize with a graphical configuration window that neatly organizes various settings. Anything that isn't covered there can still be customized by writing a script or hacking the source, as with Emacs. Thus you get the best of both worlds.
