MS-DOS Editor changed that by introducing concepts that seem basic today: a full-screen interface, mouse support, and pull-down menus you could actually navigate without memorizing cryptic commands.
Vi users:
isn’t the whole point of text editors to have cryptic commands?
EDIT is where I learned about keyboard shortcuts! And we do not speak of EDLIN.
Except it’s not actually EDIT.COM, it’s something completely different written in rust. It doesn’t even look the same :(
