Maybe they do now, in this decadent era of Lite beer, hand calculators, and “user-friendly” software, but back in the Good Old Days Real Programmers wrote in machine code.

I'll third the gVim. At least on Linux, anyways. On windows I tend to prefer Notepad++.

I discovered the joys of Notepad++ several months ago. Good program, and there's a portable version at portableapps.com (portableapps.com)
