Relatively lightweight clone of Emacs. Home page boasts that it is 150K, with the potential to compile a 49K version without some of the bloatware, however when I built it using the default "./configure;make" it was 240K. Performed well except for some messed up display updates when changing the display width (in a telnet text window - not using X which it also supports).

* Full screen editor with an Emacs look and feel with all Emacs common features: multi-buffer, multi-window, command mode, universal argument, keyboard macros, config file with C like syntax, minibuffer with completion and history.
* Can edit files of hundreds of Megabytes without being slow by using a highly optimized internal representation and by mmaping the file.
* Full UTF8 support, including bidirectional editing respecting the Unicode bidi algorithm. Arabic and Indic scripts handling (in progress).
* WYSIWYG HTML/XML/CSS2 mode graphical editing. Also supports lynx like rendering on VT100 terminals.
* WYSIWYG DocBook mode based on XML/CSS2 renderer.
* C mode: coloring with immediate update. Emacs like auto-indent.
* Shell mode: colorized VT100 emulation so that your shell work exactly as you expect. Compile mode with next/prev error.
* Input methods for most languages, including Chinese (input methods come from the Yudit editor).
* Hexadecimal editing mode with insertion and block commands. Unicode hexa editing of UTF8 files also supported.
* Works on any VT100 terminals without termcap. UTF8 VT100 support included with double width glyphs.
* X11 support. Support multiple proportionnal fonts at the same time (as XEmacs). X Input methods supported. Xft extension supported for anti aliased font display.
* Small! Full version (including HTML/XML/CSS2/DocBook? rendering): 150KB big. Basic version (without bidir/unicode scripts/input/X11/C/Shell?/HTML/dired): 49KB.
