  Well, yes, but actually no. It's more like MS-DOS's EDIT.COM since it runs in a command line / "DOS" window.

  In fact, since EDIT.COM went through a couple of distinct variants back in the day, you could say that this is the third variant of it.

  The other two being 1) the BASIC-deactivated side of QBASIC.EXE which was an editor and programming language in one, and then 2) a stand-alone, from the ground up, version (with no BASIC to disable) which came along with Win9x / MS-DOS 7.

  I keep a copy of the latter in my DOSBox config. It's only 70kB.

    I didn’t mean the style chosen for the editor. I only meant the tagline.

    And edit.com was the shit and will always be my top 5 favorite text editors. Yes, more than vim.

      Markdown varies a little from instance to instance, but you ought to be able to get away with a backslash before a problematic character (like that dot) or else backticks around something to get monospace text.

      edit\.com → edit.com
      `EDIT.COM` → EDIT.COM

      Try not to twist your brain on how I managed to get the left hand sides of those arrows.
