There's a console version, although it's also X-friendly. For an even
more X-friendly version, get "xemacs" which forked from GNU emacs a
while back since the FSF wasn't interested (at the time) in making GNU
emacs X-friendly.

Think of it this way:

   GNU emacs is console-based with X-friendliness

   xemacs is X-based with console-friendliness

The learning curve is somewhat steep (IMNSHO no less steep than 'vi'
though) but it's amazingly powerful. Its biggest drawback (and the main
reason I still know vi) is that it's not a standard piece of many
systems, so you'll have to install it yourself, either via packages or
by hand from source.

The X versions are a lot friendlier by having a menu shortcut for most
of the commonly used functions.

As an example of its power: I worked with a fellow who used emacs for
everything - it was his mail reader, his desktop environment, his shell
console, his ssh client, his news reader, on occasion even his web
browser, and sometimes he'd actually stoop to editing code with it. Of
course, he was a professional Prolog programmer, so that's already an
indication of deep psychological problems... :)
