Well, while you're there, you might also add jed - compiles and works nicely under FreeBSD too (although not in the Ports collection for some reason). It isn't exactly in the "easy" class of editors though - the default (and this can be changed) interface is more emacs like. But it is colour, sports syntax highlighting and folding (in the latest version) both in text mode (any vt100-like term is fine) and the x version as well. ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/{jed,slang,slrn,slsc}.
