I removed them cause they were (incorrectly?) listed under unix & the OP was looking for something for windows & commercial use

Vim the Editor Bram Moolenaar -  (Unix-legacy .. see DonationCoder comments)

"A modern configuration of the powerful and famous Vim, Cream is now available for Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and FreeBSD."

WinVi -  Raphael Molle.

"WinVi is a free editor for MS Windows. ... This editor is especially useful for friends of the Vi editor, who do not want to give up the little conveniences offered by Windows."

GNU Emacs

GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable text editor—and more.

Tuxman:
Ah, OK. Now it makes sense.  :)

Daleus:
I was an UltraEdit user for ages, as my deparmtnet had a license.

But I wanted something for home too. The feature I most apreciated in UE was the block colum mode, mentioned in an earlier post.

Whuile searching for a text editor replacement, Crimson Editor was the only thing I found that was free and had colum editing mode.

As for anyone else's requirements, I have no idea how it might fulfil them.
