No editor flames wars here! I use SE because it supports all the 
languages I code in - C/C++, mainframe languages (HLASM assembler, PL/1, 
COBOL, REXX), Java, Javascript, HTML, Python, Ruby and now Lua.

I'm still a neophyte wrt Lua as I've only been looking at it seriously 
for a few months but we have big plans for it as a scripting engine for 
the modernization and legacy integration of enterprise applications on 
IBM mainframes.
