Now Pico works great, but I was wondering if any of the code gnomes out there knew of any text editors that facilitated coding (I am doing java right now) better.  I am not interested in any IDE's at the moment because I want my learning experience to be very raw, if that makes any sense.  Thank you for taking the time to read my message.  


Nedit is my favorite; it's Motif (wish it was GTK...) but has most
of the features like Windows editors (block selects, indent/outdent,
macros, drag n' drop, syntax highlighting, etc.) and is somewhat customizable.

At work we use SlickEdit which is more full-featured but costs real money 
and is a bit of a pig.
