Is there a vi type editor for windows. the particular feature which i find hard to live without (after 20 years unix programming) is ' find matching brace/bracket/qoute etc'. Surely others feel the same.

There are several ports of vi to Windows. I highly recommend vim (VI Improved). You can get it at:
