"From a user: ZED is "just my kind of editor: techie, powerful, and configurable...I am hooked." The documentation is sparse which could make ZED's learning curve steeper than necessary (for starters, remember the F1 [help] and F10 [menu] keys). Feature highlights:

Edits multiple files (split window).
Directory browser for easy file loading. Supports Win9x LFNs.
"Pullover" menu system provides the newbie with easy access to many commands.
Syntax highlighting (Java, HTML, TeX, C...)
Command key sequences configurable.
Automatic wordwrap, reformat text (quoted email too).
Savable macros.
Hexdump-like mode for editing binary files.

Notes: EXE size 225K. 32-bit DJGPP port. No mouse support. GPL. Source available."

There is another Zed spelled with a capital 'Z' but lowercase letters...

It seems to be able to do a lot more than VI. It is multi-window, multi-buffer, and can redefine KeyBindings. It also does color SyntaxHighlighting.

Any Comments?
