Hexedit is a Curses based Hex editor. Unlike a text editor, which is used for editing text documents in the desired language, hexedit lets you edit any file as it's byte(1) for byte representation. It can even let you view and edit your fixed disks on your Linux system. This is not ideal for writing a letter or writing c code, but there are my times when this is ideal: * Editing binary executables. * Editing your fixed disks (i.e. /dev/xyz) * Checking the output of a Program's binary data file. * Any place you might use od(1) but need more power. Compare more vs less.

GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time display editor. Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features. Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp. GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and many more.

Dickens is a simple, one-buffer-in-one-window, console text editor. Dickens only understands UNIX-style text files expressed in ASCII, and is therefore of little or no use to the non-English-speaking world. Dickens is written in Munger(1). Features include interactive filename completion, tags support, regular-expression search-and-replace, and unlimited undo/redo.

Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much more lightweight and unobtrusive. If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a small chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it. It doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some instructions printed there). It doesn't require you to know a lot of obscure editing commands. It doesn't make excessive demands on the intelligence of your terminal emulation software. It does provide a number of features that make it easier for novice users to produce good text. It does word-wrap, prints a prompt on each new line, and allows backspacing from the currently line onto previous lines. It also provides features that a more experienced user can use. You can call up normal editor, or use some of gate's simple-minded editing commands. You can read in files, or save your text to a file. You can filter your text through something like the Unix "fmt" command. It provides a nice spell-checking interface too.

gEdit is a Gtk+ 3 text editor. Its features include: * Complete integration with the GNOME Environment, including GnomeMDI * Global Search and Replace * Dynamically loaded fonts * Splitscreen Mode * Printing support * Configurable Plugins system * Unlimited Undo/Redo

Award-winning editing for dynamic languages including Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl; plus support for browser-side code including JavaScript, CSS, HTML and XML. Background syntax checking and syntax coloring catch errors immediately, while autocomplete and calltips guide you as you write.

Jupp is the portable version of Joe's Own Editor. This version has been enhanced by several functions intended for programmers or other professional users, and has a lot of bugs fixed. It is based upon an older version of joe because these behave better overall. Jupp also does come with the editor flavours known from joe, specifically, jmacs, joe, jpico, jstar, and rjoe. Not all features of jupp are available for these though (but all the bugfixes, and syntax highlighting is still enabled by default for these, while it is not auto-enabled in jupp).
