Just lie...  ;-)

(I kid...)

I guess you could say "anything but dreamweaver" (hired. went on to grok 
vim later. lived happily ever after)

or say "I used to code in emacs but it wasn't configurable enough, so 
I'm writing my own text editor in lisp..." (not hired. escorted out of 
building. later hired as contractor)

better: "I code longhand using pencil and square-paper. By candle light. 
Meet the debugger <shows eraser>"  (hired for research computing dept.)

The real question is not which editor you use to code. It's what browser 
you use to surf. And the answer is obviously: lynx! :-)
