I've been using JED [0] (programmed in S-Lang [1]) for over a decade. It's my go-to editor if I'm at a terminal on some remote machine. I build it (it's pretty portable) if I need it, and I get (either out of the box or because I configured it) all of the emacs keybindings that I can't live without.
I don't use many advanced emacs features; this only covers basic editing (moving around, cutting and yanking, and macros) but it's the smallest subset I need to be productive.
I should look into this. I wonder how it compares.

- jjnoakes 10y agoI really dislike editing files remotely. I'm usually dropping into the shell to run commands, change my directory, and I work much better if I can pop up a terminal where I am, quickly edit a few things, and exit. It's just my preferred workflow.
- RBerenguel 10y agoIn my experience as a hardcore emacs user (10 years already of using it daily for almost everything) learning to use vim (evil in emacs for the past 3 years) has made me use the command line differently for small edits. Before it was nano, or remote emacs, now I can handle basic vim just fine to do the quick edits I may need on a remote machine
