aee - An easy to use screen-based editor
I know this is setting me up for some serious flack (even from fellow linuxslut.net authors), but I can’t get use to vi. It seems like a great system once you know all the keyboard shortcuts and mastered the thing. In the last 4 or 5+ years I have been using Linux it has never sat well with me. The job of teaching a new user to use vi just so they can add a simple line to the /etc/exports file is painful. This is why I call on aee to bridge that gap and to also act as a great alternative .
Aee uses a pretty standard set of keyboard commands and keeps editing pretty simple. For most file actions you can just hit ESC and are prompted with a menu to select what you want to do. If vi is leaving you frustrated and you want something a little less powerful give aee a try.
