The two powerhouse choices are emacs and vim. You'll probably want to get with one of these two eventually. A lighter weight alternative that's much easier to get up to speed with, and that also works quite well with speech, is nano. If you ever used pine for email, you'll feel right at home with nano. I think these are the top choices, though there are certainly other editors available.
