In all seriousness, I've been using emacs for programming, and vi for config files and they like. One thing I haven't found yet is a good html-oriented editor with color syntax highlighting and such, though I've heard good things about the Amaya web browser. For cut and paste I run klipper for X, and within emacs there's plenty of functionality.
