Weighing in at about half the memory footprint of ed, e is the most minimalist text editor I am aware of. This is achieved through its ridiculously minimalist feature set. e has no output, and only takes four commands: save (ctrl+d), close (ctrl+f), seek left (ctrl+j), and seek right (ctrl+k). e only takes one command-line argument, the path of the file you want to edit. Part of my goal in writing e was to distil the concept of a text editor down to its bare minimum, where removing any functionality would change the fundamental nature of the software. Because of the heavy reliance on UNIX system APIs, e will only compile and run on UNIX and UNIX-like systems. |
The primary goal of e has been to explore what would be possible if revision control was an integrated part of the editing experience. Giving you live revision history and making collaboration effortless (even when people work asynchronously).

Another E was actually Ecce, but was known as E because the early operating systems on which it ran generally used single-letter commands (like D for Delete, C for Compile, E for Edit, etc).
