"Best" is very subjective, of course. I used to use Quanta Plus 
extensively on KDE 3 but it hasn't been ported to KDE 4. When I started 
using KDE 4, I saw no compelling reason to install it since Kate does 
most of what Quanta did for me anyway. The things that I value in Kate 
that come to mind are: code folding, the concept of "sessions" so that I 
can open related sets of files, like for a particular project, at the 
same time, split screen, ability to grep through a set of files, vi 
input mode.

I also use vim and quite like it. I don't see the advantage of WYSIWG 
HTML editors, at least the ones I've tried, since the code they output 
is not very useful if you want to create clean semantic markup.
