Within the scope of Debian, I haven't seen anything like this. Maybe
something for me to flex my programming muscles on because I programmed
under TC and TC++ and simply loved the editor.
Having said that, there are two editors that I use. I use vi because I
also admin BSD boxes and don't control the software on them. (So I'm
forced into using it.) On my box at home, however, I use joe. It
doesn't have the pulldown meuns, but it does have the Wordstar-like
control key combos down pat. Just thought I'd share.
