ティージェーグレェ (teajaygrey@snac.bsd.cafe)'s status on Sunday, 10-Nov-2024 13:53:58 JSTティージェーグレェ JOE (Joe's Own Editor) I probably haven't used in decades personally?
I seem to recall it was a user friendly ncurses/TUI graphical editor? So like, pico/nano-ish vibes?
I'm strangely experienced enough that I cut my teeth on line editors before I was blessed to have systems which had visual editors and still probably fall back to sed and awk more than a lot of fancier IDE sorts of tools.
Albeit, I once had a theory that line editors might be super popular among those with impaired vision, and when the web started getting indexed by search engines, I finally encountered edbrowse which is sort of the vim, to vi and authored by someone with impaired vision which corroborated that theory. But I think it's written in Perl? I try to avoid things which are written in egregiously inefficient high level languages.
I tend to use whatever the defaults are for reasons not worth getting into, but that means I tend to be more into vi than vim as well.
JOE AFAIK, was never a standard or default editor anywhere, so I never got particularly used to it. I mostly just thought the name was kind of funny.
No doubt you have the power of search engines too, but here's its official presence on the web just in case you don't feel like looking for it:
