Thanks for the added details on vim :)

I thought about this too, but which features should I include in a 
table?  I haven't really described many features as such, mainly links 
where you could go to find out more about the programs and a few comments.

I found the important features, such as code folding and syntax 
highlighting, to be almost universal.  The differences are more in how 
those features are implemented, and the skill set of the person trying 
to install and use the program.  What seems intuitive to me could seem 
very awkward to somebody else and vice versa.

For example, vim seems fairly intuitive to me, but I have just never 
quite got the hang of emacs, and that seems like a subjective 
difference.  At least for me, actually trying the program seems to be 
the only way to really tell if I would like the program or not, and I 
still haven't found a program that I am 100% satisfied with.

I hope that the "attributes" that I listed would help someone to answer 
questions for themselves like these:

  * How easy or hard is it going to be for me to install this program?
  * How much help am I going to need and will I be able to get it?
  * Will the look and feel of the app be comfortable to me?
