For cli (curses) based editors, there are:

 - joe (excellent old style WordStar clone)
 - EMACS (You think vi is tough...)
 - Pico/Nano (Simplistic editor with few features)
 - ex (A command line and scriptable version of vi)
 - sed (A stream editor, similar to ex, but for streams)
 - ed (worse than edlin for DOS...)
 - THE

For GUI:

  - Nedit (Arguably the best editor... great features including
rectangular cut & paste)
 - Kedit (KDE's editor)
 -  Kate (Another KDE editor)
 - Gedit (Gnomes editor)
 - Xedit (X11's basic editor)
 - X-EMACS (*shudder*)

More than you need for text text editors:

 - KWrite (of KDE's KOffice Suite)
 - oowriter (of OpenOffice.org's Office Suite)
 - Some other "Office" solutions I can't remember.

For use with 3270 consoles (cli with no curses):

 - ex
 - sed
 - ed

Subject: good basic editors:  gui or command line

To the list,

I am looking for a couple of good basic editors that are command line or
gui but are free or come with SuSE SLES8 for zSeries ?

Anything but vi or vim that would be good for very infrequent users of
an
editor.
