Elvis seems to be a perfect clone of vanilla VI.  VIM is improved with,
at the very least, context hilighting for a zillion languages.  Try vim.org
for vim, though I could be wrong...  It is my favorite.  But then, I still
use Pico for mail composition...

As for Netscape, I have tried the Gecko demo for Win32.  All you have
heard about its speed is true.  It kicks some serious butt.  I've never 
gotten a Linux version to work.  Mostly because I don't feel like putting
Qt or some other strange widget set on my system...  <sigh> Time to
upgrade.  Wonder when Slackware will finally move to glibc?
