When programming in Linux i usually use vim, mainly because im used to 
it, and because i use virtual consoles a lot. i can have 5 vims in 
memory and i wont notice it.

but i think that if you have the oportunity to learn emacs, thats 
something you should do. emacs is really powerfull.

and i think there is a version (commercial) of slickedit for linux. its 
a great editor if you want to pay for one.
