Jed's author (John E Davis) was also super friendly. Way back when, I was connecting to the university's terminal servers using a dumb terminal. My terminal was unusual in that it had 64 different colors, and this was the kind of thing you couldn't easily get at by fixing your termcap entry. I sent an email to him, and a day or two later, he added capabilities specifically for my terminal. After that, I had very colorful source code for the rest of my schooling. I only stopped using jed after I graduated when I went to work for a Windows (Visual C++) shop.
