It's still a nasty, weird 1970s interface, just as are Vi, Emacs,
Nano, Pico, all of them.

All GUI text editors now have the same core UI: file/edit/view/etc
menus at the top, Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-X to cut, Ctrl-S to save, etc.

There is no reason Linux shell/console editors should be any different.

There are a number of them, but Tilde is mature, stable, and has a
native Ubuntu version.

eFTE seems to require X.11 and I don't know why.

SETedit is good but long-unmaintained. There are others which don't
work at all any more, such as FTE and XWPE.

I blogged about them here:
