Hey,
  Try vim, once you get your head around the way it works it is an immensely
powerful editor. There are many 'cheat sheet' type reference sheets
available if you google a bit which, when stuck to a nearby wall, help out
as you get started.
  Once you are comfortable with vi syntax there are a few other places where
it comes in handy such as less/more (navigation and searching) and on the
commandline (`set -o vi`).

cheers,
Owen.

p.s.
<flamebait?>
I've never tried emacs, but I'm told it would make a very good operating
system but for the lack of a decent editor.
