You should know that most people would probably consider vim as sufficiently "modern" -- it is actively maintained and still useful for many. 'vi' is the old school predecessor... I believe vim has an "easy mode" which allows it to work as a more traditional non-modal text editor. You may want to give this a shot and then slowly ease yourself into the key chords.

I didn't say that "vim" is not modern. And I know that many people find it useful. Moreover I use it myself quite often since it is my default console editor. But I found it not so useful for myself as a primary editor. There are reasons that I prefered to skip in the root message to avoid starting of flame war. But I'm wondering why people keep teach me and advice me how to use vim and emacs? I didn't ask any advices on these two editors. I just asked about alternatives. Maybe not so famous alternatives, but anyway. I respect your feelings on your favourite editor. And I don't claim you to change your mind about it, nor I want to change mine. I just asked about alternative products.
