vi, of course, and in keeping with the subject line, there's also the Editor 
of the beast, VIVIVI.

KDE

OpenOffice.org

I'd answer, but my sides are hurting from all the laughing I did on this one. 
I suppose you could even ask, "Which GPL'ed OS is best, GNU/Linux or Linux?" 
Now that would be funny.

Somehow, that one wasn't as funny.

Take care out there, and Happy Valentine's Day.
