You do what you want, I don't care. It changes nothing at what I said.
The number of users of Joe in the Linux world is very tiny compared to
the number of users of Emacs and vim. It doesn't mean vim and Emacs are
better than JOE or cooledit. It means that cooledit and JOE are far from
the editors of choice of all Linux aficionados.

 
Well sure.  That's the great thing about Linux (and Unix in general):
people can choose the tool of their choice to do whatever.
 
Doesn't mean cooledit, or vim, or Emacs aren't fine editors themselves.
Different strokes, and all that.
 

How many GNU/Linux users have even heard of cooledit?  Not very many.
Cooledit is not included in any distro, except maybe Mageia:

If cooledit were promoted a bit more it may gather a following.

Unlike vim, emacs, and joe, cooledit is a graphical editor with a
complete GUI interface.

I try to promote cooledit but the narrow-minded, parochial imbeciles
in this group will summarily reject it because it boggles their little
minds.
