I would never tell someone what editor to use in the same way I
wouldn't tell someone what religion to believe in. Which is to say, I
would tell my kids or other trusting soul... I used emacs for years, I
was eventually convinced to start using nedit, which is quite nice.

There is, as other people have pointed out, no "correct" answer to this
