Works beautifully, hope to use in a student guide
by Jem Berkes - Nov 21st 2004 14:18:57
I have been using joe ever since I discovered it within the Slackware Linux distro, and among the
various editors I have tried (vim, elvis, pico) I think joe strikes the
best balance between ease of use, interface, and functionality.
Particularly, it's my editor of choice for software development. The
syntax highlighting is also very nice! I'm planning on writing an intro
guide to UNIX/Linux software development to help our university students,
and I plan on featuring joe rather prominently with screen shots in a
tutorial-esque fashion. I'll post a link here when it's done.

Simple complement
by doveclaw - Mar 5th 2002 22:04:28
I love Joe and have used it for about as long as I've used Linux. I have
no idea how powerful it is compared to others (most name the old *nix
standby - vim), but it has more functionality then I will ever need. If
its any less powerful I'd much rather sacrifice those features I'd never
use then joe's friendly interface and key bindings. I often get stuck
using pico at school, not a bad program, but its "easier"
interface goes so far as to slow me down. I've never had that problem w/
Joe. Whoever is maintaining it (or not, as may be the case :P - keep up
the good work).

The first editor I used in Linux was Joe. But many suggested switching
over to vim. Still I feel Joe was easy to use.

I tried many editors and came back to the first I ever used (JoE).

Fanmail II
by Wilmer van der Gaast - Mar 27th 2001 14:33:10
Joe is just the best editor I know, I use it since I use Linux and I will
never stop using it. Good to know that there are some developments
again!!!

Needs real regex support
by mobocracy - Jan 18th 2001 21:50:21
I love joe, but the regex support in the find/replace is kind of awkward.
I'd love to see a perl s/foo/bar/ type syntax enabled.

JOE ressurection
by Marek 'Marx' Grac - Mar 27th 2001 06:17:51
Hi everybody,
JOE was dead for almost six years so I decided
to continue developing him. But source codes are
quite awful and there is almost no documentation.
So at first stage I`m going to clean them.
New versions can be found at http://sourceforge.net/project/joe-editor
Please insert in your ideas, suggestions in forums on the page

Did you get in contact with him? I e-mailed him briefly about a year ago
about fixing one thing that was bugging me (my patch is still up at
ftp://mikpos.dyndns.org/pub/joe.diff.Z I think) and he was anything but
dead. Maybe he's lost interest in continuing developing joe (as you say,
it's been several years since the last release, and there have been no
serious problems), but it would still be good to see what he has to
say.

As far as I know, there is a patch around
somewhere which implements This. Just take a look
at bugs.debian.org and search for bugs on the joe
package.

Please help us to find this patch. We need syntax highlight so much.

I tried a bunch of different terminal emulator for X and found that good
old xterm is great for joe.

World readable DEADJOE files
by Patrick Lenz - Jul 18th 1999 06:50:39
Bugtraq reports that
joe stores world readable DEADJOE files even if the files being edited are
not. The report (including a patch) is available here.

Joe problem with Xwindow pane.
by Mike Graham - Mar 28th 1999 11:19:57
I love wordstar. I love joe, on the console. I've had it screw up
royally under KDE and under windowmaker. It's possible that it screwed up
under windowmaker because I was still using KFM. Either way, it's killing
me by inches, and I'm using the latest version 2.8-41.
