I like gedit, but I like to use it in conjunction with notepad ++ (cross platform for the win!), and occasionally nano.

VI and Emacs are of course the classics though

I like using notepad ++ especially when I'm editing HTML on my website since it color codes stuff and highlights what one thing might be linked to.

so like if I go <dev> then the </dev> will be highlighted to the one that's whatever number on the list.

makes it easy to find troubleshoot when a page goes wonky because I forgot something or didn't sort the page correct.

Debugging man

that being said, Gedit has a lot of really nice plugins to supplement stuff, including special code checking stuff for several languages, including HTML.
