I use gvim passionately.  It does syntax highlighting, and only requires
15 shared libraries to load  :)
$ size `which vim`

I can't imagine life without vim.  I always find a copy when I have to
work with DOS, NT, or other unices with stupid vi implementations.
It may be difficult at first, but within a few days you will be pouring
out code much faster than with a less powerful editor.

BTW, ctags is a very cool program too.  Just man it (TM).
