I used to recommend micro[1] to people like those in the target audience of this editor. I wonder if that should change or not.

Last time I checked, micro should have been called macro based on the binary file size.

Seriously? We're going to complain about a couple megs in a text editor in the year 2025?

Yes, couldn’t use on my router because of its size. No reason for a TUI to be so big. Advanced features outside of syntax highlighting not useful. Should have a light version.

I installed nano with CUA keybindings instead.

Like my mother say. Small stream makes huge rivers.

Not caring about a couple of megs here and there is what makes some modern systems so bloated.
