As Alex mentioned, tools exist for both vim and emacs.

I have found this for vim (a vim plugin):
http://ry.ca/blog/2008/10/transparent-editing-of-gpg-encrypted-files-in-vim/

and installed easypg package for emacs. I am yet to play with them.

Do people who have experience in this have any comments or other
alternatives for vim and emacs?

Thanks.
