The brand new Microsoft Edit, which is the successor of the old MS-DOS-editor will come soon to Linux as well?

There is a discussion going on how to call ms edit executable under Linux at: https://github.com/microsoft/edit/discussions/341

Microsoft Edit is fully written in Rust. And the source-code is actually fully open-source as well under MIT license 😮.

I personally would like see them calling it dos-edit or just dosedit, since that would be kinda funny. But I understand it will be called ms-edit instead.

I know Linux already has vi, vim, neovim and nano, … and more… However is kind of ironic to see this binary be shipped to Linux distros. Of course it’s already added to Arch btw: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ms-edit-git

    MS should finally make teams available on linux. like it used to be.

    but they know it would make switching to linux too easy for BYOD users. so they give us a terminal editor. and try to compete with vim and nano?
