A big company backing something is never a safeguard for longevity.

lol, it's not a vim alternative. it's more like a Nano alternative. Simple terminal editing without any modal editing
@muhammadboutine8597
I was confused why would they even make something like this but when I heard him say "ship it with windows" it all clicked this is made to be a simple easy to learn editor so a sys admin could use it to modify a configuration file or do simple tasks It's a nano replacement not a vim one
@ClockDev
This was really *needed*, not only as a cute text editing tool. A couple weeks ago I discovered how the current version of Notepad doesn't work in Windows Recovery environment, so when you have to edit some files from that environment to repair Windows, you can't unless you use some external tool. If this comes standard, that's a pretty big lifesaver in that situation.

Bro paid $100 dollars for Parallels only to figure out you could just chmod it and run it on macOS itself🙏

3:45 as a vim guy, that hurt to hear
@FryGuy1013
This is just a simple editor for doing things on the versions of windows that don't have a desktop environment without installing things. It's not a replacement for notepad.
@y.vinitsky6452
Oh. I remember the old edit tool. When I moved from a 32 bit Windows system to 64 bit I was disappointed that their wasn't a simple built in commandline tool to make quick edits

Windows Terminal is probably the best thing that happened to Windows in recent years.

People aren’t going to use this as a full IDE. However, especially for Windows Server and IOT Core administrators, this editor makes a lot of sense. Remote file editing has always been a pain on non-GUI Windows. Currently the native options are 1) download a file, change it, and reupload or 2) enable desktop experience and use RDP. This could make disabling desktop experience a viable option.

Edit was a common tool in old DOS distributions. It's funny how they're bringing it back as a new toy.

0:15 is this satire
@softwave1662
It's more a nano, or micro alternative. Basically the MS-DOS editor, but for modern systems.
@rohitaug
A VIM alternative written in Rust? I'm surprised you didn't mention Helix
