    Before I got around to learning vi, I spent a few years using joe, which seems to have fallen out of active development (the last release was in 2018). It’s a terminal-based editor that bears some resemblance to old DOS editors.

      I use joe regularly for in-terminal editing. It’s easy, lightweight and very helpful, unlike vi…

        I’d argue that vi/vim is fairly light depending on how you’re using it. I don’t use any plug-ins and I much prefer it over GUI programs other than in exceptional circumstances
