Another question asked why there are so few non-vi modal editors. A few of the comments in that question mentioned other modal editors in passing, but I think that it would be useful to develop a more comprehensive list. Searching for this information on Google is difficult, as vim-related information tends to drown out everything else.
A few items to get things rolling:
There have been many Non-vi modal editors over the years. Many of them tied to a single operating system.
WordStar, edlin, and ISPF come to mind. Also EDIT from the HDOS system. There are probably at least a dozen others named EDIT or it's variants.
