EDIT is where I learned about keyboard shortcuts! And we do not speak of EDLIN.

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.

Except it's not actually EDIT.COM, it's something completely different written in rust. It doesn't even look the same :(

…and MacOS
Last month, Microsoft released a modern remake of its classic MS-DOS Editor, bringing back a piece of computing history that first appeared in MS-DOS 5.0 back in 1991. The new open source tool, built with Rust and simply called "Edit," works on Windows, macOS, and—in a twist that would have seemed unlikely three decades ago—Linux.
Really loved that ms-dos editor, but I'll stick to vim now.
