For my RHEL4 on a VM guest, all I can see is using emacs through putty to do our editing. (we are a heavy editing environment). I have managed to used gedit from a linux desktop but that was somewhat painful and now refuses to work at all (but I don't really miss its instability). Am I stuck with putty and emacs?

There is no desktop on > VM? Correct. You would use VNC to connect to a graphical desktop environment on a Linux guest. Typically _not_ recommended for performance reasons, but sometimes required to install things such as WebSphere, DB2, Oracle, etc. It is considered somewhat more "lightweight" than just using X, but I've always found it to be just as painful.
