For console mode / command line, I use Emacs for almost everything. But I don't really do much programming in Emacs... I mostly use it for editing config files, and various random text files. I'm not really an Emacs "power user" although I think I should one day invest the time to become one.

That said, I have been playing around with Slime a bit for doing Lisp code.

For most programming, I work mainly in Eclipse with various plugins for different languages or whatever that I might use, outside of Java.

If I'm stuck on a Windows box for some reason, I always make it a point to install Notepad++ for quick and dirty editing of text files.
