As someone who quite likes joe (especially its integrated shell - quite appealing to an acme user), may I ask ...

Why oh why doesn't it implement proper soft line wrapping???

I used to use Joe all the time too. Eventually for work I was working on a lot of systems where I couldn’t easily install it so I moved away from it, but it was a good one.
Nah. This is a list of lesser known editors. Who doesn't love joe?
Absolutely. joe has been my to-go terminal editor for over 20 years.
Joe gang! I also started using it about 20 years ago because, for whatever reason, that was the editor that was there and the editor I heard about, and then I never stopped.
I started using Joe because I had been using... Lordy, Wordstar. For years.
