I don't want to start yet another editor war, but I would like to say
that emacs/xemacs can easily do all these things you mention and quite a
bit more. Emacs is the ultimate configurable editor, however the
configuration language is LISP, which is actually not hard to use after
a short learning curve.
One thing that I use quite often is emacs ability to open files on other
machines. For example, if I want to edit a file on my work machine I'd
specify a file name like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/file.java. I've never
seen this feature in any other editor.
