So...the look of Vim/Emacs without their advanced editing features?

(sorry for being so negative; this page really could benefit from a demo video)

This is what i gathered as well? Maybe an alternative for nano-users? I’m not sure which space this editor tries to fill. Non the less fun project and always interesting to see new terminal based applications.

Are there nano users out there?

It's an ok editor to throw in the face of an unsuspecting random person, much better than both vi and emacs. But it's an absolutely horrible choice for constant usage.

I use what I get, if I have a nice config with Vim, I'll use it (badly, but it works well for me). Most of the time I'm happy with nano, assuming it's a one time edit thing like /etc/hosts, or I'm copy-pasting something into a file.
