e is a very small text editor in the style of Emacs, microemacs,
JOVE, etc. It implements many of the common Emacs commands. It does
not have an extension language. It does let you rebind keys. It runs
in a terminal or terminal emulator only.

base language: Objective C
implementation language: Lisp
extension language: Lisp
scope of implementation: extensible
hardware/software requirements: Any hardware/software which GNU Emacs
19.28 runs on in general. To use the added NeXTstep features
requires NeXTstep 3.x or later (for best results 3.3 or later)
on any hardware platform supported by NeXTstep.

- Source on ftp.cs.orst.edu in
pub/next/sources/editors/Emacs_for_NeXTstep_4.1.src.NIHS.s.tar.gz.
Note: Emacs for NeXTstep 4.1 is a superset of GNU Emacs 19.28
with which it shares most of the code. The main change is that this
Emacs supports the NeXTstep window system on the same level as GNU
Emacs supports the X window system. It continues to fully support
the X window system as well.
Also, this may be new information on the same release: Emacs.app, a
full port of GNU Emacs to NeXTstep also supporting NS features,
runs on Intel, NeXT, and HP hardware.
There are also two mailing lists for Emacs for NS,
<emacs-for-ns-users@lists.princeton.edu> and
<emacs-for-ns-announce@lists.princeton.edu>. The former is intended
for general discussion and allows anybody to post. The latter
restricts posting and should contain only a handful of
announcements of new releases every year. Both of these lists are
handled by the CREN Listproc which means that you can subscribe and
unsubscribe automatically. For example, to subscribe to
emacs-for-ns-users I'd send a message with the content `SUBSCRIBE
emacs-for-ns-users Carl Edman' to <listproc@lists.princeton.edu>.
For more details write to the same address with the content HELP.
This is the second public release of Emacs for NeXTstep (**).
** So why in the world is it called version 4.1 ? To avoid
confusion with the older Emacs.app interface (lately up to
version 3.1) which is completely unrelated except for the fact
that its author, Michael Brouwer, has been a major contributor to
this project as well. And even he has replaced the old Emacs.app
with Emacs for NeXTstep.

From a user:
...and I think it is worth to mention that JED (which is the
"GNUishest" of all the non-GNU implementations -- almost every
keystroke is like within GNU/XEmacs) has the complete editing
part of the AUCTEX-package built in, with BibTeX-mode, so if you
have to edit La/BibTeX-source outside your home/business, JED
might be your first choice.
And, what's more than that: JED runs on the smallest PC systems
used these days: in the library etc. I take my Toshiba T1000
(which was the first laptop and has a 4.77 MHz CPU in it: 512 KB
RAM, no HD and a single FD) -- and works like a charm since it
loads the necessary modules into memory only when needed (dired
etc.).
Unlike "freemacs" (which was my favourite editor before JED) it
can manage files over 64 KBytes in size and it is further under
development.
Since it runs on Linux to (with a special XJed binary) I use it
for quick tasks on my desktop, too.

for other languages, but MULE users may find upgrading to Meadow
easier than to NTEmacs because of slight differences in the way
they handle fonts. Meadow also has a couple of features that are
still missing from NTEmacs, such as support for native IMEs and
