I was a die-hard PC-Write (registered) fan for years.  Most of my work
with editors however has been source code.  So I began using MicroEMACS and
have been extremely happy with it.  The major problem I had with PC-Write was
that I couldn't figure out how to get it to enter tabs into text rather
than multiple spaces.  The latter really slows you down on editing and
adds about 30% to the size of an average C source file.
