[IIsi50MHz]

<6 GB RAM?

Sooo many choices. I started[1] programming on a 5 MB machine with ~4 MB free.[2]

But I'm not allowed a GUI? Ok… then, I'll choose an editor with a keyboard-driven menubar across the top (keyboard shortcuts appearing in the menus), a status line on bottom, and as many keycombos that match my preferred GUI as possible.

Failing that, I can muddle along with Nano.

Until some once-in-20-years task actually requires using an arcane 'editor' that assumes I live in PDP-11. (^:

[1] Wellll… I sometimes forget typing BASIC from magazines into an Apple II and making small changes.

[2] And it was luxurious…until I tried to fit 8 MB of a CD-ROM app into compressed RAM.
