Hi - I am a long-time Emacs user, most recently the Aquamacs 
implementation which is the best I've seen.  It does not have a column 
selection mode as far as I know, if by this you mean the ability to 
highlight selections vertically instead of just horizontally (like mouse 
selections of text in Micr$oft Word while holding the ALT key).

I've heard of a program called MacEdit which apparently does allow 
"column mode" and has some syntax highlighting features as well.  See
http://madedit.sourceforge.net.
