I use kwrite when on a GUI. When I can't avoid editing files remotely 
over ssh, I use nano.

Why? I dislike Gnome's user-interface, and I find gedit slightly too 
underpowered and dumbed down for my taste. (Although it has a couple of 
nice features.) Of the KDE editors, kedit is too basic and I've never got 
into kate, although perhaps I should. kwrite has a nice clean, consistent 
UI that matches other KDE apps, instead of being hideously ugly like some 
apps I won't mention.

As for nano, I dislike having to memorize obscure ctrl-alt-shift key 
combos to do the simplest thing. For a handful of small edits, nano is 
perfectly adequate, doesn't tax my memory, and does the job.
