There are a few suggested editors I've never heard
of. I'll try them out.

As for VIM, i don't rely know if i should comment on
that ;) VIM are made by programmers who think
"the more complex the better". VIM is good if you
have used VI since the beginning of time. Otherwise
it's a pain in the ass. I my self have been forced to
use VI (and sometimes VIM) quite a regularly since i
work a lot with unix environment witch lack other
editors.
