[2018] Wanted: Console Text Editor for Windows
« on: June 29, 2020, 03:24 PM »
A pretty good article that made me rediscover the GRIEF editor:
https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2018/02/15/wanted-console-text-editor-for-windows/

(Now I usually use Emacs and/or Acme, but a good Windows CLI editor is still good to have.)
I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.

Indeed.  :Thmbsup:

But for those that think not enough editors were discussed in the OP's article, here are more:

The easy path is usually downhill...

The TextEditors wiki - where I had contributed in the past - suffers from a lack of maintenance of existing pages. There are a lot of 404 links over there and my day only has 24 hours. Maybe someone of you feels able to fix those? :)
