micro would have been an even better choice, the UX is impressively close to something like Sublime Text for a TUI, and very comfortable for those not used to modal editors.

This is the first time I've heard of micro. More info here: https://micro-editor.github.io/

I like micro and use it occasionally. I like this even more. I booted up the editor and instantly thought “it would be nice if there was a clickable buffer list right about…” and then realized my mouse was hovering over it. My next instant thought was that micro should have implemented this feature a long time ago

It doesn’t have a menu for windows devs, and is supposed to be small and light. Two strikes against.
