I'm sorry, but Vi/Emacs might suit some people but I'm not one of them (I probably was once upon a time). (PS: If I want a text-mode editor I tend to use joe - Wordstar compatible key bindings anyone?)
What do you mean by text-mode editor?
I believe he means "console" as apposed to a gtk window...
gvim is graphical.
at which point that's a fail ;) (but good ol' normal vim is fine).
Anyways - I'm an avid vim user - but I can understand that there are people out there that don't want to just get things done, and so don't want to bother to learn the (very useful) bits of vim... for those, there's always jedit - which is one of the better graphical editors I've used... or Kate (yes, it's KDE, but it's actually not bad), or, IIRC, scite isn't too bad.
(Now, if we can keep the thread out of the realms of windows software... especially for text editors... ;)
