joe! My first Unix-y text editor, but it's been vi/vim for 12 or 13 years now. Anyway, distros stopped including joe out of the box in favor of first pico and then nano, which is why it's not more popular.
- digi_owl 10y agoYeah, looking at wikipedia it seems joe was without a maintainer from 1995 to 2001. This likely leading to people adopting pico. But as pico was part of the pine email client, nano was made to be a free standing pico replacement. Also, i guess pico/nano style key combos more "friendly" than the sequences joe uses (ctrl-k then another key to do anything).
