I find Nedit really good on Linux and Windows (using an X server like MicroImages' free one). It's more like a typical GUI editor than VIM or EMACS but does constant bracket highlighting (eg, it doesn't just flash the brackets, they stay that colour). I find VIM hard to use and EMACS too slow. There is no Lisp setting, as such, in Nedit. I just use the Scheme highlighting settings for Nedit that I found on the internet. I'm not saying anyone should use it, but Nedit is a good starting point for people who don't want to try VIM or EMACS yet.
