I now live in vim, but as a kid I only ever used microemacs on the Amiga because it came with the OS.
I love how much modern computing culture has its roots in the good old Amiga, and folks who didn't own one are totally clueless about it.
It was really interesting to read about the slow connection speeds and screen painting being so influential in how many of vi’s commands were conceived.
Yeah it makes sense - and even now that isn’t an issue, I feel like the ability to “program” your edits is still a great interface for productivity.
