Pico
Pico is the editor that the mail program Pine uses by default.
According to its creators, "Pico is a very simple and
easy-to-use text editor offering paragraph justification,
cut/paste, and a spelling checker."
Advantages: if you use Pine
for sending email, then you already know Pico; can be used from a
dumb terminal; spell checking.
Disadvantages: no support for
X-Windows, as it only runs via a dumb terminal interface; somewhat
clunky.
