Erm, Openoffice.org! Nah... definitely nano++ (or pico of course, whichever is installed.) but normally gedit to be honest, only because it does what I need and I'm too lazy to bother installing anything else...
ISTR pico is non-free (hence the existance of nano), well, more that it's got a funky licence along with pine that makes distribution a pain. I'm assuming that you've hit it due to UEA's student access machines being about 73 million years out of date (note: maybe a slight exaggeration ;)
Notepad++ is good, got it on my USB stick for use on Windows machines. Obviously miles better than Notepad.exe ;)
I get round the problem of windows machines in a much easier way - I don't use 'em ;) And, if I am, then I probably want to edit something that I'm going to want elsewhere anyways - so I'll have ssh and vim open :)
