... and it is not an unimportant factor, that joe has a decent finite state machine language for the syntax hl, instead of the usual _awful_ regexp hacks that both jed and emacs use. (Yes, regexps are FSMs, but ones without labelled states/side effects, so you have to combine them with hacks at the outer level, instead of simply specifying the syntax in the structure of the FSM.) -- Tuomo
