Because I use EMACS on all my UNIX machines, I chose JOVE as my public-domain (actually Freeware) text editor. I hacked it to support my VGA's strange modes (like 132 columns x 50 lines) by loking in low RAM for the number of rows and columns on the screen. It doesn't support a mouse, except through the arrow-key emulators sold with some mice, and doesn't use pop-down or any other kind of menus, but is a good implementation of EMACS, so it gives me one less editor to learn when moving from machine to machine.
