Well...

...joe is bigger than ae, but ae uses slang (does something else use
slang?) so the sizes might offset each other in that regard. All joe needs
to be quite functional (which is why I like it so) is just the executable,
the libraries, and a joerc.
Joe might also be a good option because of its wordstar-esque keys. DOS
Edit has some convergence with joe on thse key bindings. IE, CNTL-Y is
delete line in both, etc. It isn't perfect, but at least joe does tell
people that ^KH is help. Hell, we can enable the following line in the rc
file and they'll get help all the time.
-help Start with help on
