The JED editor

Well this is not exactly Emacs. But Emacs related.

I will always like a lightweight Emacs clone. Emacsclient is good for desktop usage. But for server maintenance, where you spend 10 minutes on a box everyday, you won’t like the 100M monster eating up all your memory.

I’ve been using for this. And today I’ve found a better one: jed. The most advantage over mg is that it support customization and syntax highlight. Also it support UTF-8, which is a BIG plus for me as a Chinese user.

Now with a little customization the jed looks like my Emacs. I’ve decide to use this on all my server machines for quick editing. And I’ve put the windows binaries got from http://www.skilleter.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misc/jed.htm and http://www.paneura.com/~dino/wjed.html#INSTALLER on my USB key to see how they will work on windoes.
