I've been a joe[0] user on Linux for nearly 30 years because it has similar keybindings to EDIT.COM (which they both owe, I believe, to Wordstar).

Wordstar has very different keys to EDIT.COM, which was basically a tiny program to launch QBASIC.EXE with the /EDIT (or /EDITOR) parameter that disabled the BASIC bits. QBASIC's keys are the same as those used in Windows.
