Hm, I don't want to start any editor-flame war, but what you described is
a definition of QEdit. Which of the three do you feel it doesn't support?
I've been using QEdit for a long time, first shareware, now commercial
version. They ALL supported all of the above...
If you have questions, please email me directly, I will be happy to help
if I can.
