Which editor for programming?

Can anyone recommend an editor for programming? I've been spoilt
by Emacs on a Sun workstation running in Ada mode and therefore
giving me colour highlighting and indentation of Ada source code.

Now i've tried Amiga Emacs and I don't have a clue what needs to go
where! Where do all the lisp code go? Why am I not able to put it
in Ada mode when I type <Meta-x> ada-mode? What about colour 
hightlighting? I can access C-mode okay, but I don't know about 
colour. Help! I know, RTFM, but Emacs is a little difficult to sift
through.

I've tried xdme, dme and they're not user-friendly enough. GoldEd
looks promising, but no Ada parser, and no C parser - only C++!

Any recommendations would be gladly accepted... :)
