XEmacs is another editor that could be worth looking into. Bit nicer
interface than plain Emacs, and should not take up too much more space
than plain Emacs.
For vim, you can always install Gvim to give you more of a GUI version.
Alternatively, there is NEdit which I have not personally used for some 7
years, but developers where I supply services swear by it.
Personally, if there is something quick I have to edit, vim is the default
choice, but as soon as I start hacking anything larger, Emacs is what I
fire up.
Seems like it depends on the first editor any given person used whether
they become Emacs or VI zealots.
Best editor I have ever used though was CygnusED on the Amiga. 65kB in size
and everything you'd expect an editor to do and then some (still have not
found an editor that will do a rectangular area cut/paste in the middle of
a text). Second to that is FrexxEd (Amiga, OS/2) that had a very nifty
virtual disk you could drag/drop files in/out of that opened/saved files
in the editor itself. But I digress...
