was that the sound of a bicycle falling over or was it MS doing EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish) as usual?

I checked this out. It's kind of neat. It's barebones from a programming perspective though.. it didn't seem to have syntax highlighting out of the box for example.

If you want a TUI text editor with CTRL-C/V and mouse support, I'd recommend looking at micro: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro

Milpotel · 6h ago

I used micro for some years but recently switched to https://github.com/craigbarnes/dte. A lesser known, more 90s-like, alternative I used several years ago is ne: https://github.com/vigna/ne/.

Craig Barnes is epic. Great, versatile editor, dte.

That sound you hear is all the old men yelling at clouds that a full screen terminal editor is not a CLI editor.

I wonder if anyone has ever given any druthers to porting PC-Write to linux ..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-Write

I must have written a million lines of code with PC-Write in the 80's .. seems kind of odd to me that it has just disappeared into oblivion, given that its an extremely powerful editor.

Huh, the source is out there somewhere .. might be a fun Lazarus/Free Pascal project one of these days ..
