As a followup to Dave Bloom's recommendation of Emerging Technology's EDIX:

I use EDIX on the PC and vi on UNIX.
EDIX is only sightly vi-ish. It is modeless, and uses function keys
and Alt-? keys as commands (more like emacs than vi, though the
choice of keys is more intuitive than emacs). In moving between
editors, I hit a lot of wrong keys in the first five minutes.
However, it's the best I've found so far.

As to its developer's experience, Marc Rochkind worked at Bell Labs
for over ten years. He spent a lot of time developing PWB tools;
for instance, I believe he's the inventor of SCCS (Source Code 
Control System).  (Don't confuse him with Mark Rochkind, also ex-BTL
after >>10 years. Marc is a REAL developer, Mark a researcher.  I know them
both, and can vouch for the characterization.)
