Vim and Emacs run in the terminal perfectly well.
I'm a big emacs user for many years but the amount of config tweaking and package installation needed (for me) is too much. And I never made it past the elisp learning curve

Genuinely curious why you're tweaking your configuration so frequently. I've been an emacs user for ten years now, and I've settled on a configuration that works. I hear this a lot, too, and I just can't figure out why people need to edit their .emacs file so much.
I remember your nickname from the Infernu project of yours. It was one of the best attempts at typechecking JavaScript I've ever seen, and it's as needed in modern days of TS team going insane as it never has been.
The things we don't really need more of are editors, CLI software, or Rust software.
Please reconsider your goals.
Dear Santa, this year I don’t need gadgets - all I want is a Borland Turbo Vision–style console text editor with windows, tabs, and syntax highlighting. I promise to be good and keep my code compiling.

I get the frustration, but I think the npm option actually makes sense here. A lot of users who’d benefit from a fast Rust tool aren’t Rust developers and won’t have Cargo installed. Shipping it through npm lowers the barrier while still giving everyone the performance benefits. It’s not a knock on Cargo, just a way to make the tool more accessible.
Given the fairly shoddy security story with NPM, I genuinely don't understand the hesitation to publish a binary and have a README instruction to curl/wget it into `/usr/local/bin` or `~/.local/bin`. If it's going through NPM that publishing step has to be done already, unless the NPM build is pulling down rust to compile it all as a native extension. Eventually it'd wangle it's way into homebrew or the unstable bran…
Wow... the first impression is nice, but does this actually have 544 dependencies? Is it just me, or does that seem excessive for a TUI?
I hate it, and I'll keep working on reducing it
I'm a little annoyed that for a Rust based tool the recommended installation command is to use npm. Why? Is Cargo not good enough? Cargo seems exceptionally well to me.
- Homebrew (MacOS)
- Arch Linux AUR
- Debian/Ubuntu .deb
- Fedora/RHEL .rpm
as well as cargo install (which builds from source), npm, npx or building from source by cloning
