I don't think anyone has mentioned BRIEF yet in this thread, which
surprises me.  BRIEF is, I suppose, a descendant of Emacs
and includes such useful features as an extensible C-cum-Lisp macro
programming language, multiple buffers and multiple windows,
template editing, ability to compile without leaving BRIEF, etc.

I have certainly found it to be far more usable than Borland's
integrated editors, for example.  I haven't used any other
so-called programming editors under MS-DOS so I can't say how
well it compares to its competitors.  There was a review of
several programming editors in BYTE about six months ago, and
BRIEF came out quite well, as I recall.
