It is THE worst editor to use when you have a terminal with any kind
of illness (and that is my most common situation, for example, I'm typing
this now through Telemate for DOS, and no kind of $TERM can make joe work
without garbling the text).
Also, it segfaults very often when closing large (>10MB) files, and you
can provoke a segfault after you go to Find mode (^KF), just by rapidly
typing different escape and control sequences.
Still, it's the best editor around =%o)
