Dear Vincent,

I wouldn't let the date of 2004 scare you away from emacs. And, if I 
understand, in windows you can also use xemacs and/or emacs. 

One extremely nice feature of using Emacs is using the very same editor for R, 
C, C++, or anything else for that matter. It certainly fits your other 
requirements
