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.
