Hi Ben,
i think Vi/Vim is as simple as any editor you mentioned above
but Vim has more feature like cut/copy-paste, split-window for
multiple file editing and colors.
i write this letter with Mutt and Vim as the editor (i choose Mutt
becouse it can handle multiple email account, and able to running from
console).
im a newbie too,
i'm 13, newbie to computer, newbie to linux (i never touch Ms Windows like most
of you), and newbie to English.
vim is very simple, you just have to learn it for 15 minutes(maybe less)
and if you want to, maybe you should try to visit this site
