Should I try to learn vi (Vim) (which obviously will help me, if I ever need to administer a remote box) or install Emacs or something else, for the gcc editor? An easy learning curve is strongly preferred, but, I am 100% aware of the advantages of vi. Recommendations? TIA!

gvim

There is almost no pain if you stick with gvim (vim). The help is full of helpfull stuff, the mouse works, syntax and keyword aware....

You might also look at Eclipse.
