Some Unix-oriented comments from a semi-newbie:
If you like pico, I'd say that joe is an agreeable extension of it.
Sorry I don't know about Linux, but there are several versions of joe,
and one (jpico?) has key bindings that are a superset of pico's. The
help field at the top of the screen is very welcome; if you use 50-line
screens, it leaves a good bit of space for the text, and can be hidden
if you want.
Fairly sure that .joerc defines the user interface; not sure whether
joe's executable code differs any for the various versions.
I do wish pico had a cursor-backward-word key binding.
