There was this awesome editor called Kedit that I used on OS/2 and Win NT. I
think there were text and GUI versions, but not free.

KEDIT, the XEDIT clone? There is a free version of that, The Hessling Editor.

Yes. I's forgotten its xedit roots. Lots of interactive operations like block
editing a subset of lines matched by pattern. And it could edit huge files
fast.
