What editor do you use for programming in Linux? I'm looking for one with full syntax highlighting and the other little features such as indenting. Anyone know of a good one?

I love vim (vi Improved). It is about all that I use. Emacs isn't a bad editor and xEmacs is decent. I'm not sure if there are others. For PHP I'm starting to use Zend Studio which is Eclipse (another good editor that supports several languages). You can also try Netbeans which is similar to Eclipse but has support for several languages (although made for and with Java).

Nano is a great editor as well. It has syntax highlighting and is very easy to use.

I second Jordan's statement. vi(m) is awesome, and really easy to use once you get used to it. I do, however, use gedit the most. A nice simple editor, with nice functionality, indentation, syntax highlighting, and I could go on about all the stuff it has...

nano is ok although I haven't used it enough to criticize it.

Which editor do you prefer in Linux? There are several GUI editors although I've rarely used any.

Well, usually I use gedit.. but I don't do any programming in Linux.

I think you can still do PHP and HTML with that...

I use nano, because it's extremely easy to customize the syntax highlighting, because it uses regular expressions.
