My favorite is Emacs, but Netbeans is good too especially if you are on
Windows where Emacs just does not quite fit.

vi/vim has both *nix and Windows, it's free, has been around forever and
is powerful.

edlin! Uses less resources then any of the other editors people have
suggested. As a bonus, you'll learn very quickly not to make
mistakes. :)

Never heard of that? Anyway, any text editor will work, but things like
vi/vim, gedit, etc. (free on Linux, and vim works on Windows), will
work fine. I guess it might depend on your OS.

Personally I preferred UCEdit, University of Calgary Editor, but it only
ran on a CDC Cyber series as far as I know. I loved being able to go to
the 234th instance of 'the' and changing the next 5 instances to 'then'
in a file with a single command. It made editing large files very easy.
Unfortunately I have never seen any editor close to it even though I
used it in the late 70's.

Vim is sure a matter of taste. I know that because I refused it
for a long time. A time much too long...

Now this is subtle lobbying ;). But I am with you of course.

OTOH if you do not try out emacs you will never know what you like better.
And IIRC there are simply no other choices (1)(unless on MAC) ;).

(1) For editors, IDEs are a different history that shall be told a
different time.

I can't say I disagree, but I do like being able to control mpd and read
PDF's inside Emacs. Not to mention Emacs' ability to run as a daemon.

Is it possible to add some text editors information on Ruby's official website?

I'm kind of tired of this kind of discussion unless something notable comes up.

Yeah but what shall we say to a newbie?

point him to the wiki!
ok I'll cross the i's and point the t's ;)

Sorry if you are tired about vim vs. emacs but that is somehow a "natural law".

What else shall we say than: Try vim, try emacs, try <fill in
yourself> choose what suits you better. The wiki pointing idea itself
has not been accepted so far. I suggested a Wiki for FAQs for
netiquette, but that point did not find any echo at all. I doubt it
will for the editor, but maybe ( and I would not mind at all ) I am
wrong.

Cheers
R.
