Hey I just noticed that vim won last year's LinuxQuestions.org's "Member's Choice Awards" for Best Text Editor by a whopping margin (400 to 2nd place gedit at 155, out of a field of 15!*). Much surprised.

Also surprised: Midnight Commander, the *second* best piece of software of all time, placed 3rd in "File Manager". Under "Best Programming Langauge", Python beat C++ 226 to 129...

*IDE's were in a seperate catagory, but the winner there (Eclipse) only recieved 129 votes.
