#2Full windows support? Yay!
joe was the first editor I used when I tried Linux for the first time. vim and Emacs seemed terrifying back then, and I needed very little features. Just being able to edit config files.
The Wordstar shortcuts somehow are still in my muscle memory. I will definitly try and see how joe fares under my current requirements for a text editor.
This is exciting!

#3I haven't seen a live project on SourceForge in over a year.
FWIW, Homebrew is still at Joe 3.7. The 4.0 source release compiles fine on MacOS/Homebrew if you set LC_ALL=C to work around some sed problem.

#4Love joe to quickly edit something (with jmacs alias).
At Uni we were brought up on JOVE (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs).

I can't believe how long muscle-memory can persist!
I started programming in DOS in the 90s, and just hitting Ctrl-H in joe makes my muscles remember the most-used chords... A very funny flashback.

I certainly thought about migrating, but not sure it's worth the trouble. SourceForge does have a fork-project button, but I've not tried it and all patch submissions have been in the form of conventional patch files. It sure would be nice if they came in as branches we can merge.
Hmm, I used autoconf from Ubuntu 14.04. Maybe there is an issue with it in MacOS.

#8That was the first editor I ever used in Linux back at the university. It was convenient because I had experience with Wordstar in DOS (3.0).
I stopped using it when I had to telnet frequently to a server to do some remote work (circa 1998) and the only editor that was installed was vi. As vi was everywhere and joe wasn't I just switched to vi (and eventually to vim).
I'm happy joe is still around :)

#9I used it for a while before switching to Vim, than was like 8 or 9 years ago.
I remember throwing DEADJOE files everywhere in my computer :)

Debian Wheezy: just ./configure, make and sudo make install from within the source directory.
