There can be only one. VI simply because it is part of every distro I have ever used.

I'm not sure I've ever encountered a distro without it simply because I usually have gedit, leafpad, and now sublime.

I'd go with EMACS. But I do use NANO for normal text text editing.

OK, honestly these all depend on the distribution that you are using. If you are not familiar with these you should just use NANO which is just a normal text editor to start. Then feel free to PM me with any specific questions on where to go from there.

The Linux course "LFS101x.2 I" only covers a few. Linux Mint includes GEdit and vim.

it's fast, it has bolt-on functionality, and it is very robust.

Yea, vim on many sysadmin tasks. As far as web dev related stuff, i find sublime to be my go to editor.
