    sudo apt install micro

Not awkward, it uses keybindings you already know if you've used a PC or Mac in the last 40 years. :-/

Definitely this. I'm super happy for anyone finding some new level of productivity with vim, emacs, kakoune, etc. but I don't want to join an editor cult, not even a CUA one. I just want to edit text from the command line using a familiar set of keystrokes and move on with my life and micro fits the bill.

I think the vim keybinding are the one I have used in the last 35 years.

I first learned on a Commodore… run stop restore! But then DOS edit.
