Good screen editor depends on what you mean by good.  XEDIT is available
provided you use the SIM3278 or Yale 3270 emulator packages.  The feature
that I miss most in vi is the ease of writing editor macros to do special
things.  On the other hand vi and company have regular expressions.
IBM's apporach is not as flexible but comes close.
