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.

On WordStar

Anvil is a graphical, multi-pane tiling editor that makes bold use of the mouse and integrates closely with the shell. It supports syntax highlighting, multiple cursors and selections, remote file editing, and contains a powerful text manipulation language.

In favor of endless configuration.

Good considerations. Did I tell you I want to have a eink cyberdeck?

Whenever I explain my research at Google into mobile text editing, I’m usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile “Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What’s the problem?”

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.
