I gotta say vim. The editor by itself is great, but when you start applying the vim-like mindset to your toolbox (ie small, composable tools, vim bindings, keyboard centrism, etc) you really step up. That and window managers. I'm on i3 but really it's a matter of choice

I read this somewhere that if you ever wanted to generate an ASCII file with random text, ask a linux noob to open up vim, type something, save the file and exit without letting him know how :)

It's a bit of a joke, but Emacs has a very good vim emulator called evil-mode which gives you everything you could want from vim, plus all the Emacs stuff.
When you combine that with org-mode and org-evil then you basically have everything a person could ask for out of life, so long as that person is stunted and terrible.

The appeal of vim though is that it comes out of the box or can be easily installed on any server you may be sshing into. I love Emacs, but it doesn't have that. I use Emacs on my machine, but rely on vim anywhere else.
