If cross platform is a consideration and you know how to use vi, Vim,
(which is what Fedora and some other distros use instead of vi) is
available for Windoze.
Take a look at http://www.vim.org/ if you have an interest. I've used
it on Linux/Unix/Windoze for years, now.
Really convenient to have the same tool everywhere.
