Jove 4.14.  Non-buggy, faster than either uEmacs or Freemacs, no 64Kb
limit, identically available on UNIX.  No extension language (only
simple macros) but the command set is both sufficiently GNU Emacs-like
and sufficiently embellished that I've almost never missed having an
extension language for the sorts of things I do with Jove on the 386
DOS box -- mostly C coding (this is from an inveterate Emacs Lisp
tinkerer).  Jove has nice compilation (including parse-errors) and
tags (find-tag, find-tag-at-point) and process (filter-region,
shell-command-to-buffer, etc.) support, and has been a very pleasant
development environemnt for me for several years now.
