Using #emacs has been hurting my wife's hands, and she has trouble remembering #vi commands that aren't :w and :q, so I suggested she try #joe. There's no GUI version, but she doesn't mind running it in a terminal.

She loves it. I've become rather fond of it for writing text myself.

@starbreaker There are lots of ways to get around emacs key-chording woes. My favorite way is to use a keyboard that uses your thumbs for Ctrl etc., like Kinesis. That cured my left wrist.

@starbreaker But that is just one way to address the problem. For others, this is a good place to start: ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_pink
