A deep dive into the text mode editors we had and how they compare to today's

Unexpectedly good.

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.

In favor of endless configuration.

A popular (I don't know him) Sci-fi writer tells why WordStar is the best.

A website about selecting and classifying text editors used in programming systems. These are the programming text editors such as Emacs, VI, Multiedit, slick, Slickedit, ISPF, Notepad, VI and VIM that are used by the vast majority of programmers on UNIX, Windows, VAX, and Mainframe systems. The structure of the website allows any vistor to leave their opinions, knowledge, and mark on the website for others to enjoy.
