I don't remember any fancy full-screen editors. I remember a CLI where editing meant I could enter a line of code or LIST what was already typed in (ordered by line number).
I remember writing programs first on paper, then transcribing them in. Line numbers were useful for that - making sure I didn't miss anything.
They were also incredibly useful when typing in programs from magazines!
