I've been watching this for a few days.. 
as I type line after line of code, and edit various files
and even edit my PINE e-mails.. with: joe 

<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/";>http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/</a>

I've been using it since at least '94. 

Even have a XX-DOS version (8.3 filesnames.. yech..)
And I had a pre-MacOSX version on a Mac once.. 

And just wanted to plug it.. as it just works, 
has minimal system requirements.. Wordstar-ish
key bindings by default (but also runs as 'jmacs' 
with more 'emacs' like keystrokes..)

Is it everything Emacs/XEmacs is.. Not even close. 
But it doesn't hurt my head mode swapping 
like 'vi' does either. - I offer it humbly as a 
middle ground for those who may be looking for 
a trusty tool, a friendly editor more capable
then 'pico'. 

And when forced to use other editors, it's amazing how many
of them have 'wordstar/joe' like key mappings available,
although not all work -exactly- the same, at least close
enough to kepe from completely retraining my fingers..
