As you are thinking of changing editors, it would be useful to know if 
you prefer programming from the command line or using a GUI before 
recommending editors.

I'll make just one observation here: its worth looking at Vi or its 
improved Vim clone. You may hate it but its still useful to know because 
it is capable of running from a really minimal keyboard and screen. It 
can be used if the screen is so old or broken that it only has a glass 
teletype level of screen painting ability and a keyboard without cursor 
or function keys. If you manage the bork the RPi really badly, knowing vi 
may help you recover because its often usable when the system is degraded 
to the point where emacs and other editors can't be used.

I think thats a good idea anyway. Connect the RPi to your LAN and run 
PuTTY, a well regarded SSH implementation for Windows, on your PC and 
you've immediately got command-line access to the RPi via an SSH session 
as well as file transfers via the scp utility. This is known as running 
the RPi in headless mode and means you don't need a screen/keyboard/mouse 
for it.

If you want some GUI capability, use VNC: you run vncserver on the RPi 
and a Windows version of vncviewer on the PC, or there's a Java applet 
that lets your web browser act as the viewer. Either way, this lets you 
drive the RPi from your PC's keyboard and mouse and see what its doing on 
the PC screen.
