For linux with a gui, frankly it takes a lot to beat Geany for
programming work.

Without a GUI I'd probably use JOE if I had a lot to do, or simply learn
vi for the sake of sheer ubiquity for small editing jobs

I learnt vi years ago simply because it was the only editor I could
guarantee being present on any Unix machine I was called upon to write
code on, or administer.

Its horrible, but it can be made to work.
