UltraEdit is fairly popular in Windows, but PSPad is free and it's about as good (even better when it comes to macros - fully scriptable in the language of your choice - JS/Python/Perl/VB/...).
As for Unix editors, mcedit is better than vim and emacs, that's not saying much, but it is. It's open sauce, available on all unices worth using, and character mode.

Uh, that's *exactly* when menus are useful: if your editor has 1000 features, you don't want to learn escape gee sixty four slash colon for every one, you learn the ones you use 99.9% of the time, and arrange the rest in a menu you can quickly navigate.
Good extensible editors let you edit your menus or create shortcut keys for your macros very easily...
