SlickEdit is cross platform, but a commercial product.

Yeah, you can't do any serious programming with just vi, regardless of
what people will continue to claim.  Software development with vi is
like trying to drive in a screw with a hammer.  Not saying you can't
get work done with it, but you're probably not being very efficient or
doing a very good job.  I'm not sure how people can work without
autocompletion and class browsing when you're working on a huge
project with hundreds of files and classes.  Vi is probably still good
for programs with less than 10 files and classes.  Plus, IDE's like
SlickEdit allows you to edit in vi mode.
