Emacs. I've used to to code in Vim/Gvim, but I switched to Emacs just to try and learn about Lisp. Emacs has tons of interesting "plugins" to add, and actually I'm using emacs as my Organizer (using org-mode) too. Emacs hasn't anything to envy to any of those bloated IDE's like Eclipse or VS. I recommend to you: * http://www.emacswiki.org * http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/ Steve Yegge has a lot of articles about Emacs/Elisp and it has been a excellent source of information to me.

I was a long time vim user too. I switched to emacs after witnessing slime and clojure. I can't image life without org-mode anymore.
:) Agree. Org-mode is great! It's extremely simple and the best of all is that save everything into plain text files that you can track with any version control system.
Org-Mode can be easily considered a killer app for Emacs http://orgmode.org/
I have something similar for Vim. Plain textfiles under svn are a great organization tool. Need to try orgmode sometime so I can copy its features :)
