I've used VEDIT from CompuView for about 10 years.  They are mostly
concentrating on their MS-DOS version now, but still sell the CP/M one
(at least they did about a year ago).  It allows multiple files to be
edited at one time, multiple windows on screen, files can be any size
that will fit on your disk, works with almost any terminal, etc.  It
also has an incredibly powerful command language (very much like TECO).
It is not free, but considering the fact that the most time you spend
at your computer is in the editor (unless you are playing games), and
that I believe good tools are important, it seems worth the price to
me.

Note: as usual, no link between CompuView and me.  Just a satisfied
customer (with a little pride that the editor I picked so long ago
when Ted Green was still working in his basement turned out so well).
