a good hex editor

[Luqman]

hello,

I am in need of a good, i.e. to some extent usable hex editor. I have
had a try on vim (with hex mode), ghex2 and  hexcurse but none of them
seem to do what I lke. 

I like to delete some parts of a binary file using such a hex editor.
Unbelieveable but true, everyone of the above mentioned editors had 
one or the other issue. 

- vim: allows editing and viewing the file but deleting parts of hex
  values does not show modifications in corresponding ascii values that
  are displayed right to hex values. Instead these ascii values just
  more leftwards. In a nutshell, modified file is not longer useable.

- ghex2: Looks great and have a nice search and replace interface.
  A small bug, though, make editing error prone. During search and
  editing, the cursor is not placed on the right byte and thus you have
  to be careful while deleting something.

- hexcurse: I could not find out how to delete something. No
  documentation available.

  There must an intuitively usable hexeditor available, I have not tried
  yet. 

  You feedback is much appreciated. I am not afraid of command line but
  the editor should at least do what the name suggest "able to edit" hex
  file.

  Thanks in anticipation.

  Regards,
