Coding Editor For Linux (Kubuntu 12.10)

I'm after any recommended Text/Code editor (IDE) for Linux, i'm using Kubuntu 12.10... i won't be doing any serious programming (as in software development type) but more just scripting so i'd like a simple clean editorcheers guys

I use "vi" for my Unix scripting work It's standard Linux!

hehe... that would probably be the last editor i would try and use, although for Linux/Unix administrators it seems to be the normal editor to use... i would prefer a much simpler and easier tool yordan

It is not the normal editor for Unix people point of view. Simply, it's the only free editor included in each free Linux and each commercial proprietary Unix distro
So each administrator, each IT developmen guy has to know how to use it, because in our next paid job you will most probably have to use it at your customer site.

I don't know that many Devs who use vi, i know a few developers who use Linux and they don't use Vi, not sure if they know how to use it though (haven't asked)

But yea i'll have a snoob around for an easier alternative for me hehe thanks though

I say "you", but of course, the real word is "somebody".You write a nice program on your own PC, which has a lot of gadgets.You sell your program to somebody who has a computer which has nothing, except the standard features and nothing added except your program.You try the program, it's almost perfect. But something has to be changed in the source code file blah.php or bloh.sqlYou will have to use an existing editor, which will be "vi" if you sold your program to be used on a "real" Unix system. Or you will have to pay somebody who knows how to use "vi" in order to do the job. This guy could be myself, but it should be yourself.
