You could try looking in the Text Editor Compendium web page:
  http://coopext.cahe.wsu.edu/~bsyse/faculty/rnelson/editors/editors.htm

This lists a lot of text editors and their features. You should also
check out the numerous editor sections of the shareware sites:
  http://www.winsite.com
  http://garbo.uwasa.fi
  http://www.coast.net
  http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/
  http://www.windows95.com

Or post a message to comp.editors news group. 

I would suggest Zeus as a very good editor but it only emulates Brief, 
Emacs, Epsilon and WordStar. Unfortunately it has no VI emulation :( 

PS: Say hello to my brother. I think he also works for SCITEC :)
