Sorry folks, hearing that this one is vibe coded (just checked myself and Claude’s all over the commits)… @rmi suggested Micro instead:

https://micro-editor.github.io/

Going to check that one out when I get a moment to see if it’s good to recommend for beginners.

My daily driver is Helix, and I love it :)

Still using nvi on Slackware.

No plugins. No syntax highlighting. Just speed, predictability, and classic vi behavior, even with multi-GB files.

I wrote a short guide explaining why nvi still matters and how its architecture enables fast, low-memory editing.

I'm thinking others should hire @lapis as a developmental editor because they actually understood/understand the Romance genre, unlike some freelance editors I tried where they said if you have tropes in your book, you're a shit writer. Editors, tropes are categorization. It's what you do with them in the Romance genre that counts. #Editing #Editor #RomanceLandia #Romance

For over a year I've been using Ghostwriter for writing blog posts and documentation and I really like it.

It's a classic two-pane, ligthweight Markdown editor for Linux. I initially configured the settings the way I want and now I can just write without the editor getting in the way. It's a humble, simple tool that works well and lets me focus on the task.
