As far as I am concerned it looks better than the pf.vim highlighting mode ;)"
If you use JED, give this a try and provide the author with some feedback.

So a new mode for PF mode is welcome. But unfortunately the web site seems to be down at the moment.

Anyone know of an editor that:
-Works well in both X11 and console modes;
-Uses a self-documenting menu system, as described (without demanding a Meta key or remapping of backspace/^H);
-Understands why easily toggled line-wrap could be useful;
-Is extensible, at least to the point of using these sort of 'modes?'
At present, Vim seems my best option, but I still don't relish the RSI of so much ESC-:'ing, and the apparent inability to make use of backspace.

Well it does run in an xterm but i'm not sure wether that counts.
" -Uses a self-documenting menu system, as described (without demanding a Meta key or remapping of backspace/^H);"
No clue, i don't understand this (English not native language).
" -Understands why easily toggled line-wrap could be useful; "
nano -w file
can be made as alias ofcourse
" -Is extensible, at least to the point of using these sort of 'modes?'"
no clue.
I tend to use vi(m) for the powerfull work and nano for the easy. Some systems don't have nano, then i just use vi(m) and it takes a bit longer because of the ESC'ing like you say. There are quite a lot editors in ports so you can try these out. I also like ae because it combines both my likings in nano and vi. Ae which comes with FreeBSD but there is a 3rd party port for OpenBSD somewhere on the net.
I'd advise you to try out nano and ae :)
can't remember where the ae port is. Try www.monkey.org/~jose or www.infomatrix.ca or www.google.com

Regarding vim:
NEdit ( N irvana Edit or) is an editor that satisfies your requirements. It has an excellent extensibility and uses the standard Motif/PC/Mac key bindings. However, it doesn't work in console. Only in X.

Using gvim (X11; I *assume* those keymaps are okay, they work in everything else ;)), backspace produces backward movement in the text, without actually deleting anything. NEdit would be great - there're a lot of great X11 editors, these days - but I'm looking to chop down the modality between X and console, because it's nice to be able to maintain servers through PuTTY when you're stuck with Windows 'workstations.'
Maybe it'd be different if I could afford an X-capable palmtop.
