I don't actually program all that much, but I find that for text editing, vim (or even vi) is hard to beat.

As a sysadmin, I appreciate the fact that some form of vi exists on any vaguely unix-like machine I log into. Even without a .vimrc, the basic commands for line editing and searching work and they match with tools like less (or does less match vi?) and using vi has become second nature over time because it's everywhere and it tends to be the default (I hate it when someone makes nano the default $EDITOR so that eg. sudoedit doesn't do the right thing)

I wish Windows servers shipped with vi, too. A decent text editor is the one thing I consistently find myself missing. Notepad most definitely does not count.
