a good programming text editor (not IDE)

>> Most IDEs are rather weak as text editors compared to emacsen.

That's true, but even emacs and xemacs don't offer simple automatic
word wrap (i.e. wrap a line without splitting words or putting an eol
or hard carriage return at the end of every line). I don't know if vim
allows this. It's something writers just take for granted in non-Unix
text editors.
