Should this be an editor that works on text console or terminal emulators
or can it be a GUI one?
GUI based I like Kate.
But for text console, I have not seen much

that could replace emacs or vim in terms of features.
nano and mcedit are quite simplicistic. Enough for some, granted, but not
for programming.
And even then a full featured editor that is intuitively to use only with
text UI. I did not yet found it. Sure vim can have split views and what
not, but I have to learn a lot of key bindings and stuff. For Kate I just
use the menu for less often used functions.
But then that likely is possible with emacs I bet. I never tried emacs
seriosly. I may try it some time, but I´d like it when something like
vimtutor would be available for it. It would help me to get a feeling of
whether I like emacs or not more easily I bet.
That said I use text UI based editor mostly for configuration files anyway.
I do programming in Kate.
