I've been using Jed as my primary editor for the past 20 years. Originally because it was faster than Emacs while providing the same experience. Then because I loved how its automatic indentation works ("tab" properly indents the current line), and I still can hardly use an editor that doesn't behave in a similar way. Finally, the language extensions are written in ("slang") is great. It feels familiar, is readable and is easy to pickup, unlike Emacs Lisp. Jed and Piknik are the two first things I install on any new computer. Today, in order to write Rust code, I use VSCode, but for everything else, Jed remains my go to editor.
