I love Joe's Own editor, especially Joe's default and Jstar. I love it because I'm not a programmer , I don't code except for some silly, basic bash script (and for this I confess I use nano most of the times), but I write novels, poetry, essays... Jstar is my definitive choice! Sorry to see that this project is no longer updated. Are you planning to carry on the project? Thank you!

One of the most advanced text editor for console mode.

I use the Jstar variant of JOE for just about all my writing. My fingers are hard-wired for WordStar keystrokes and JOE is about perfect. The only feature I would like to see added is soft (dynamic) carriage returns -- so text would flow for PDF or importing into word processors. Using the "flowed" option in the configuration file (then replacing space/carriage returns with spaces) is a pretty good workaround for this (at least for writing, not sure how well it would work for programming). Still I'll take Jstar with no "dynamic" carriage returns over anything else.

It was my preferable text editor under Linux. Wonder it is available for Windows too.
