Good, I have a 3b1 also and have both jove and gnu-emacs running on it.

I like jove a lot.  Its primary advantage to regular emacs is being able to
start up fast.   While I primarily use gnu-emacs for long editing sessions,
I will tend to use jove for quick and dirty work.

Now, since you have such limited disk space jove has another advantage:
My jove executable is 159236 bytes.  The source code (compressed) is just under
300k.  Compilation is pretty fast too.

(This mail message is being typed in jove).
