Whatever is all the fuss about?  You want a simple editor, you write a simple
mode for GNU Emacs and disable whatever other neat shit gets in the way, at
least (setq auto-mode-alist '(("\\`[\000-\377]*\\'" .  simple-mode))).  Take an
hour for the mode itself, another to polish, and probably one more the next day
after you've had a chance to sleep on it.  Presumes strong emacs experience,
though.
