I'm a big fan of plain text files. Years may pass, new powerful file formats and editors may be released, but they'll never replaced the good, old .txt in my heart. There's this feeling I can't really describe when I see the austere GUI, the monospaced font and the lines of neatly wrapped text on a white background. There's nothing superfluous to distract you.

From the veteran Windows Notepad to Linux's gedit and its derivatives, I've spent thousands of hours staring at editors like these.
