Sandip,
You used vim....????? May (Emacs) god forgive you.....
I hope you were not singing the "addicted to vi" song.... cause if you were, then

On a serious note, Yes, emacs has cool font lock mode (color support with syntax
highlighting) on X. And it does have a toolbar and an scrollbar on X (though I found
nothing fancy about it)
Jusk for kicks...
