You might want to consider using 'ex' (vi in line-oriented mode).
My roommate picked it up in about two hours and is perfectly 
happy with it.  A full-screen display isn't really necessary;
he normally uses a Macintosh, and ex's line-oriented display
doesn't bother him at all.   Plus, it's much simpler to learn
and use than visual mode or emacs.
