Windows:
CLI -> don't
GUI -> C#/WPF

Linux:
CLI -> ncurses
GUI -> Qt

Qt don't have C bindings, use C++ for that.
And yes, you have to use QtCreator.

look up Fabrice Bellard's qemacs, its an extremely light emacs clone with both X and terminal support, it has the bare bones of an emacs-style text editor in C

Google "rope data structure". Congratulations, you're 90% of the way there.
