I use Microsoft Word. I don't see any reason to use anything else. Seriously, text editors (for example Notepad) are dated, you really should be using a word processor. Even Wordpad is only a quasi-word processor. I've never heard of emacs or vim, but I'm not sure that a text editor would be very good for programming, how are you going to spell check??

OK, you got me. I believed you and was contemplating how to best respond without totally flaming. ++.
