Well I haven't even heard of Brief, I used to use PFE on the PC
for Windows-based tasks, vim for DOS based ones.

Ah, but you haven't allowed for Bram :) Vim has for a while been
far superior to vi (not least 'cos the source is available and
compiles without too much trouble on Amiga, PC and various UNIX'
- plus others). But the recent versions may be of interest, GVIM
from <URL:ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim> adds menu's, Windows copy/paste
etc... for some windowing systems.
