Personally, I think it is vi (my favorite clone is vim).
I can see why people like emacs, but personally, I think it's too bloated for my taste.
vim has syntax highlighting for most any language, auto-indention, and other stuff. I just love using all the vim command mode commands. Like if I mistyped an entire word, I just bcw. Sure, there is something like it, which means that you have to leave the text panel. Esc is an exception, but you use it only when going in to command mode.
I *know* there is a vi workalike for emacs, but I just dont use those featubcwbells and whistles emacs offers me.
vim is what a text editor should have been. it edits text, and it's quick to use.
It's not a text editor with bloat, psychoanalysts, and the kitchen sink. We're just missing a login prompt and a boot loader for emacs to make it a complete operating system.
Remember, that these opinions are my own, and I'm in no way classifying emacs users as idiots. Feel free to be psychoanalysed in your text editor if that's your way of life, and you actually use a millionth of the features.

Hm, and what about SimCity 2000? I want that on Linux too :) ... or maybe I'll continue using it on my old Mac.
