AEdit, a commercial program that sells for $35, has an UNDO which is 
substantiall *better* than vi.  (It is multi-level, just like the Apollo
editor's UNDO, if you've ever had the pleasure of using that).  That means
that you can not only `woops' your last command, you can get the one before
that, too.  And before that, until you reach the limits of the change-buffer
(300 lines for AEdit).

AEdit also has global regular-expression search-and-replace (though with 
rather strange regular expressions, based on AmigaDOS rather than Un*x).
These two features make it *useable* as far as I'm concerned.  It was the
only such editor I've found on the Amiga, period.

(It also has a `real-Amiga' interface, the ability to edit binary files,
word-wrap, and simple paragraph reformatting, if you care about that sort of
thing.)

My only conection with it is as a satified customer.  ADDR:
