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

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.
