Take vim! (www.vim.org)
Version 5.6 compiles out of the box (Actual version is 5.7, perhaps it
also works fine, had no time to test it yet)
Building:
Untar the src and the rt packages,
cd src
./configure --enable-gui=auto --prefix=/usr 
(--disable-perlinterp if you have perl 5.6) 
( --enable-pythoninterp if you have python)
make (EXTRA_LIBS="-lICE -lSM" if you have X11R6 libs installed)
cd src
make SUFFIX=.exe install
make installmacros 
If you want a minimalistic vim then there is also a switch
--enable-min-features
If you want it super-sexy (hmm.. can editors be sexy... ??) compile
glib & gtk + use x11r6 libs and you will get a nice looking
gtk-interface for vim
