    Pine *IS* a "real" email program.  It just has different
characteristics.  Every one does.  A program which had every possible
feature that the human mind can conjure up would be so big that it
would be unusable.  However, you can get a lot of what you are
referring to above by using the alternate editor feature, using a
different editor from Pine's built-in composer, and some editor macros
or configuration.  Having that option is part of Pine's strength.  The
exercise is left to the reader.
