Aside from emacs, vim is a nice editor that can be used across UNIX/Linux/Windows OS. It is also more friendly to learn/configure than emacs (install it, type "vim" at a shell/cmd.exe prompt and use the help that comes with it for customization). It comes by default on most modern UNIX/Linux OS. Similar to emacs it also has a wealth of plugins available.
