Hi,

All have their week points.

One advantage of using several in parallel is that you can 
configure each to a special need of you and then start the one 
which seems to fit best your current task.

joe has also the advantage that it behaves differently depending 
under which name your start it.

ee is really just useful for very basic editing. But this is the 
idea behind ee.
