If someones recommending gvim then it's really only right to recommend
Xemacs! <tongue firmly in cheek>
Seriously though, both vi derivatives and emacs are excellent choices
if you can deal with the learning curve. Took me a long time to get
used to emacs but I can now work very very fast in it. I understand the
same is true for those in the "other" camp. :-) Xemacs has just about
enough GUI capability to qualify.
