REDT (for UNIX and Amiga) has the columnwise cut and paste operations you
describe as well as insert cut/copied column.

REDT does not have the column delimited editing mode; however, some of this
functionality can be achieved with the learn/macro keystroke facility.

Other REDT columnwise features include, tally column block (registering
sum, count and average numbers in the selected column block) 
and sorting keyed on the selected column block.
