Emacs is a text editor that can do virtually anything. It can be extended with LISP programming. In addition to its incredible amount of built in functions it has the ability to record and play keyboard macros. Emacs has modes for most programming languages including HTML and Java.
The one thing that emacs is not is a WYSIWYG editor. To try it out from a terminal window type "emacs" without the quotes. To shut it down press Ctrl-x then Ctrl-c. Emacs has a basic tutorial that will guide you through basic editing.
