I LOVE emacs.  It's the good ol' time tested editor for code.  I have 
recently discovered the "syntax highlighting" that REALLY help to view
code while editing.  It's powerful stuff overall.  There's an Xemacs 
as well.

I'm attaching my ".emacs" RC file so you can see what I've set to enable
colors and stuff.
