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 love Joe. And even though its last update was a while ago, it’s still my preferred editor.

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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
