GVIM is a great transition from vi to more 'modern' (read slower and cumbersome!) editors.
It allows all the normal vi commands, but also 'standard' Windoze features like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V for copy and paste, drag and drop selection etc. Like all good editors, it takes time to get the most out of it, but at least it is usable out of the box (unlike vi!) Another one I like is ConTEXT, from www.context.cx. Not sure if its got a max line length, though.

I've used the VI editor several times, and I HATE IT! VIM sounds like the same sort of thing if it's got a "command mode". I've found a way to backup so that it wraps the lines correctly now, so I can use my old editor, which I'm used to. I may look into GVIM, though, just for grins-and-giggles.
