But hey, if the list hasn't been argumentative enough for folks:
vi rocks, emacs sucks, and nothing else is even worthy of being called an editor except maybe EDT!
Hmm, I'll bite.
When all is said and done I think my favourite editor at the moment is actually Dreamweaver in code-mode. It had better be, considering the amount of PHP I've been doing this year.
At work we use Visual Slick Edit but that has a few idiosyncrasies that really annoy me (that might just be a case of changing some options though).
In a terminal window I'll use Nano by preference, or Pico otherwise. I'll use vi if it's all that is available on a rescue disk... and I'll wash my hands afterwards.
For simple to-do lists and the like, I'll use Notepad or Wordpad (on Windows) or TextEdit (Mac).
As for starting arguments, how about these (trying to keep vagely on-topic):
Epson vs Canon
CRT vs LCD
Slides vs negs
sRGB vs Adobe RGB
8x10 vs 4x5 vs 6x7 vs 6x4.5 vs 35mm vs digital
Mac vs PC
Extreme Ironing vs Extreme Accounting (don't laugh until you've seen the websites!)
