Exciting emacs text editor6/17/2023 I still run it in DOSBox even to this day. The problem was, back in the day IBM had a spectacular falling out with Microsoft and couldn’t bundle QuickBASIC and it’s associated editor into their flavour of DOS any more, so they bundled the E Editor and REXX instead. While I’ve got used to Vim, as I’ve mentioned numerous times on Twitter my favourite of all time is still the E Editor that IBM bundled with their later versions of PC DOS. Users of Micro-Pro’s WordStar or Borland’s “Turbo” languages will feel at home. It has a “mode-less” user interface which is similar to many user-friendly PC editors. JOE is a powerful ASCII-text screen editor. It even has a page on The Wikipedias.įrom the introduction to Joe’s well written and comprehensive manpage (you know, those things the GNU people used to write and the *BSD folks still do): I had a crush on a girl in high school who’s last name was Allen, but I don’t think he’s any relation. Joe is one of them recursive acronyms like GNU and stands for Joe’s Own Editor, so named for its creator, Joseph H. Today I may have finally found the perfect one! I’ve been using Unix-like operating systems for years and, much like programming languages, I’ve never been able to settle on one editor.
