Zile over there just wondering if anyone has even heard of it.

sigh Time to search what Zile is.

“GNU Zile is a lightweight Emacs clone. Zile is short for Zile Is Lossy Emacs. Zile has been written to be as similar as possible to Emacs; every Emacs user should feel at home.” ~ gnu.org/software/zile

I have heard of zile. Someone recommended it, then I realized you can fit all vile and zile users in a single hottub.

Hah, that seems like an apt description.

It was what the little startup I was at used as a minimal editor on the VM images they were baking 10ish years ago. They were all emacs people, so it made sense. One of them is at the FSF last I heard.

Emacs has GUI and TUI so the one within is TUI and top level one is probably GUi

Good ! Good !

I see I have inspired an apprentice: https://lemmy.world/comment/15349991

The only thing missing now is to ditch the desktop environment and run EXWM. Or just run emacs from tty.
