Komodoedit... hmmm I don't know him, I might try it but I doubt it can compare with vim and emacs, this editors are used from programmers many years. I have used all the three and it is clear that Vim and Emacs is the way to go for me, but I can't decide clearly... I am a bit more for emacs. Why do you think it is silly to use it on a GUI box? :)
