I personally think nano is still a good editor, but I'll see how well joe works if this is the case.
Elvis is a good vi clone, which doubles as a hex editor, and has been the default on Slackware Linux for half a decade or longer. There are a few features in vim that people desire. I'm not sure about elvis' parity with: macros, regex support, and syntax highlighting, but from my use on Slackware it's on par for most needs. Some people desire ctags support which vim has, but it's not needed to run it and is for developers anyway, which should be an addon made available through ips if we continue using vim.
