I have never heard of "joe". I have heard of many other text editors though. Off the top of my head: vi vim neovim vis ed emacs acme gedit pluma xed geany leafpad kate nano (gross) vscode atom sublime text notepad++ Windows Notepad Maybe if I even know Windows and macOS and *plan9* text editors before I know of this "joe", it needs to do better advertising. What are its features? Why would I want to use it? What merit does it have that we should recommend people use it? I have run pacman -Si joe, and it seems to be an editor. It's self-described as "Joe's own editor". So let me revise my question: who is joe, why do I care who he is, and what does his personal editor do for me? For that matter, if it carefully described as his own editor, am I allowed to use it? Alternatively, is it designed to be used by other people than its original intendee? -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
