I grew up on Borland Turbo C, so it was an easy transition for me when I picked up Linux circa 2000. JOE ships with several keybinding variants as well. E.g. `jstar` launches JOE with more WordStar-like bindings.

I'm in a similar boat. I used a lot of Turbo Pascal and EDIT.COM/QBASIC.EXE (which has some similar keybindings). Joe was the natural editor to use when I started with Slackware back in the early 90s. It's really a pleasure to keep using 30 year old muscle memory.
