While in virtual console, I use midnight commander's built in editor 
for the bulk of my actual dev work.

Then when I need to email anything, I switch to gui and use gedit to 
open the file, copy it to the clipboard, and paste it into my email 
client for patch delivery.

My criteria is "hold the text and stay the hell out of my way.  Be a 
tool and don't try to do my thinking for me."
