Used wordstar on early pc 1989 to write tomes of my user interviews when implementing ERP systems. Back then was writing COBOL on Wang minis for ERP systems. Things just worked. BBS worked really well and were fun. Fast forward to 1996 and gopher land and list servers were a whole lot of fun, and just worked. Had learned pascal but never got to use at work. TP as above said set a benchmark for speed and ease of use. Today one needs vi with plugins to achieve same. Nowadays I prefer vi for all file editing except GUI stuff when modern ide can be very helpful. And home code mostly in python because I’m casual and can’t hold everything in my head so python code written in vi or using thonny is fun. My 2c.
