Despite being initially cryptic, I'd strongly recommend learning Emacs.
It's a valuable and flexible tool that can be useful in many situations,
not only for editing CHICKEN code.  If you are familiar with Lisp
languages (and I assume you are), Emacs can be programmed to do
virtually whatever you want (including making it less cryptic to your
taste)!

Best wishes.
