I use it all the time.  I haven't found anything else that is as light-
weight (no KDE or Gnome overhead), intuitive (straightforward menus),
and functional (decent syntax highlighting, good translation between
user-defined and hardware tabs).

It lacks the anti-aliased fonts of more modern editors, but a well
designed bitmap font is arguably better for a text editor anyway.

My only real complaint is the lack of UTF-8 support.  It wasn't such a
problem until I married a Peruvian.
