In a recent fit of madness, hacker Joel Holveck has released Vigor, a version
of the popular Unix editor vi featuring the Vigor Assistant. Holveck declined
to comment on his true motives for creating the program, although it has been
confirmed that he was inspired by Pitr of User Friendly the Comic Strip.
Holveck denies rumors that he created the program as part of a plot to
encourage the use of Emacs.

The library with-editor makes it easy to use the Emacsclient as the
$EDITOR of child processes, making sure they know how to call
home. For remote processes a substitute is provided, which
communicates with Emacs on standard output instead of using a socket
as the Emacsclient does.
WordGrinder is an ultra-clean and uncluttered word processor
that runs in a terminal or an X11 window.
The author made WordGrinder to have something to write novels
on. It supports just enough character and paragraph style support
to let you get the job done, while not enough to let you waste
time configuring them.
From the docs:
Xcoral is a multiwindow mouse-based text editor for the X Window System. A
built-in browser enables you to navigate through C functions, C++ classes,
methods and files. A SMall Ansi C Interpreter (Smac) is also built-in to
dynamically extend the editor's possibilities (user functions, key
bindings, modes etc). Xcoral provides variable width fonts, menus,
scrollbars, buttons, search, regions, kill-buffers, macros and undo. An
on-line manual box, with a table of contents and an index, helps you to
use and customize the editor. Commands are accessible from menus or key
bindings. Xcoral is a direct Xlib client and runs on color/bw X Display.
The example .xcoralrc is in ${PREFIX}/share/xcoral/xcoralrc.fl; cp it
to ~/.xcoralrc, and fire up xcoral.
