Joe is my favorite if for no other reason than I can get the help on
the top of the screen.

it must have been you about whom this was written.

4cf0ac2 "People already exposed to modern GUIs when introduced to UNIX
used to be (and still are) told to use vi or EMACS.

I'm not sure what the problem w/ EMACS is... It will function as a plain
text editor, and was available on most OSes.

However, If you are looking for a "notepad" substitute, try Kedit , I
haven't tried the other variations ( Joe, Nedit etc. )They are all
attempts at recreating a *familiar* look'n'feel in various ways.. There
are a lots of editors, from plain to insane ,available. Please,feel
free to sample them all.. no cost unless you don't have the boxed set
or a fat pipe .. downloading some of them could take a while if you are
just using a modem. Nothing is small and simple any more.

'Relax, is linux.' What you dislike , you probably can change ; if
not there is bound to be at least one program that could be customized
to operate as you wish it to do.

At the risk of sounding pollyanna-ish, no one will sue you for tossing
out whatever program you dislike. Just wander thru places like packman,
kde-apps.org , kde-files.org and countless others and see what you can
find.

' relax is Linux ' , better even, is opensuse linux , jump in the
water is fine.
