Like 7 people have said that Joe provides virtual/editor, which of course it does. What I'm surprised at is that no one has said, "Look in /var/cache/edb/virtuals, where you will likely see that Joe is set as (one of) the in-use virtual/editor(s) on your actual system." You may also see that there are multiple editors set for virtual/editor, since you have multiple programs installed that provide this function, and I have seen multiple settings for several virtuals on my system, such as jre and linux-sources. You're not going to avoid the scary message (because you are uninstalling a system package), but you might want to just re-check your virtuals file after unmerging Joe, to make sure that something is still set there-- if not, re-emerge vim or nano or whatever, just to reind Portage that something is installed to handle the virtual.
