Microsoft recently launched a modern remake of the iconic MS-DOS Editor, named 'Edit,' which originally debuted in 1991. This open-source tool, now built with Rust, is available on Windows, macOS, and surprisingly, Linux. This cross-platform release has excited long-time users, blending nostalgia with practical utility. The update represents a significant evolution from the original text-editing experience that transformed DOS operations, which were previously limited to cumbersome line-based editors. Notably, the ease of use contrasts with more complex Linux text editors, such as Vim, often associated with confusing command instructions.
30 years of waiting, and I can use MS Edit on Linux.
Many of you are probably familiar with the 'How do I exit vim?' meme.
