Check out Perl Programming Tools - (who, what, where, when, and why). My boss is actually the one that wrote that node in response to my request for some good perl tools. Being brought up in a windows world, I didn't appreciate vi. Since then we have tried a few but I still use vi for most everything. The more I work with vi, the more I like it. vi is most likely the editor of choice for most programmers on *nix (just a guess). I did find one shareware editor that I use on windows sometimes. It's pretty nice and will handle a lot more than perl. Check out MED - Programmer's Text Editor.
Update
I just checked the link above and it appears to not be working anymore. If I find a good link to their site, I'll post it back here.

OK I found it: Utopia-Planitia.com

That's strange. I thought they built galaxy class starships at Utopia Planitia not text editors.
