'vi' is driving me crazy

[Michael Hipp]

Can anyone recommend a character-mode programmer's editor that works a bit 
more like a gui guy would expect?

I'd never want to be one to complain, especially on a great day like this, but 
in between playing with new toys and stuffing myself on every manner of 
decadence, I'm trying to edit some moderately complex script files (bash). But 
the modality of vi and the lack of "standard" keystrokes for select, cut, 
copy, paste is making me looney.

Anyone know a good code editor like this:
- Modeless
- Uses shift-movement for selection, ctrl-x -c -v for delete, copy, paste
- Has single keystrokes for things like "save"
- Works great in character mode
- Has color highlighting for the common FLOSS languages (sh, python, etc.)

Thanks,
Michael
