I also must recommend the Sage Professional Editor.  I am a die hard
Emacs user, and have tried as many DOS emacs-like editors as I have
been able to get my hands on (never had the opportunity to try
Epsilon though).  When the editor wars started heating up here at
work again (emacs vs. vi & brief vs. everyone), we decided to try
Sage - mostly for the multiple user interfaces.  I have been very
happy with the Emacs emulation (BTW, Sage calls it Epsilon mode).
Of course, being an Emacs user, I don't live with the default setup
for long.

I think that the mouse support is "just right" - I usually don't use
the mouse much, because I can do just about anything using emacs
commands, but there are some things that are a lot easier with the
mouse (some yank and put operations, for example).

Sage is easy to extend or modify - I would recommend it to anyone
that likes to tinker with their editor.

I also must echo the comments about helpful tech support.  When one
of my coworkers had a question about a particular feature, he was
put in touch with the developer of that feature.
