Yes, Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client works:

VNC works well too:

Why X11 editors? I like vi. What vi has that most other editors don't
have is line editing.

Suppose I have the following line: "I'd still love to know why you
would rather use X11 text editors" and my cursor was at the front of
the line (column zero).

And suppose I wanted to move my cursor to the X in X11.

The entire instruction is two letters fX.

Starting at the same spot suppose I wanted to remove the word know
with KNOW.

The instruction is eeeeeee~~~~ (end of word 7 times and 4 conversions
to uppercase).

With no quotes here are some other functions.

Top of file : ":0".

Line 545 : ":545"

Bottom of file "G".

What I don't like about most other editors is that line editing
consists of moving the arrow keys. That drives me crazy.

Yes, I've tried BBEdit. And (forgive the spelling I'm not on my Mac
now) Solamon (with the red strawberry doc-icon).

Eclipse with a vi plugin is OK - but I find Eclipse projects hard to
manage. At times I've modified a configuration file and hosed all my
Eclipse stuff. Also, it's a bit of a pain to bring up Eclipse when all
you want to do is create a small text file.

One thing I *really* hate is when you get a dialog box and you have to
designation up or down.

I'd jump ship on vi if I could find a vi like editor that allows
searches on regular expressions.

RD Client:

esktopclient

....though the Mac version is an extremely basic client compared to the
windows version.

While it worked when I needed it, I found much better
results (for a variety of reasons) running X-windows
and using rdesktop.

If you're not comfortable with X or compiling unix
command-line programs, stick with MS's RDC.

I'd still love to know why you would rather use X11 text editors rather
than Mac text editors, or even if you've ever tried any of the Mac text
editors mentioned.

that's somehow better than selecting the word 'know' by double-clicking
on it, and then typing 'KNOW' to replace it (worst case), or use an
elevate case feature if it is available (best case) ?

For someone who refuses to touch the mouse while editing, I suppose it is.

As a long time vi/Vim user, I understand your desires.

FYI. You can get a native Vim for MacOSX (no X11 needed).
<http://www.vim.org/download.php#mac>

Having said that, I personally use Vim in either an iTerm session
(often times ssh'ed into a remote system), or gvim (actually
gvimdiff) started on a remote system via "ssh -Y" and the DISPLAY
automatically going back to my MacOSX X11 environment.
<http://iterm.sourceforge.net/>

I use Vim because it is a very good vi emulator with much MUCH
more power.

And I use a vi style editor because I'm a kernel software
developer working in C where Vim wired into a cscope database
makes a very powerful development tool.

And finally, my fingers know the vi/Vim commands so well, they
don't always ask me what to do. The reflexes seem to just do what
I need to do without thinking what keys I'm hitting :-) I would
find it very painful adapting to a new editor for anything except
trivial editing.
