Do give Gvim editor a try.
I very seldom suggest to people to seriously consider using it, because it has a steep learning curve and when I do make such suggestion, it is the highest form of flattery from me ;-). You have to be a special kind of technical person to utilize its full power.

Have a look at Gvim, moving around the text, selecting the text, utilizing text objects, choosing from the *vast* number of command permutations. It has very strong support for the use of Regular Expressions, several built-in languages for macros, programming, extending, and automating work with text.

I am pretty sure that if I had an opportunity to sit down with you and show you cool things it can do, you would end up as a convert ;-)
