Save is not needed, it shall be automatic.A good editor needs three commands:
- Open
- Save
- Exit
Cut and paste requires moving the hand to the mouse. Keeping the fingers on the keyboard is faster, for experienced typists.I find vim and emacs archaic.
There's a reason why "Cut & Paste" became ubiquitous and "Kill & Yank" didn't. It's because "Cut & Paste" reflects something people understand from the real world whilst "Kill & Yank" sounds like the angry outbursts of a developer who's had too much coffee.

Yes. You can turn them off but it seems no one doesOnce again, you seem to be ignoring screenshots.
Please see the screenshots, on this page, of ee and nano without on-screen commands.

If at any time you make an error in the commands you type to ed , it will tell you by typing

I don't believe FreeBSD will ever have the resources to cater for this kind of newcomer or even (unfortunately) those with reduced accessibility.the wish for newcomers to have the choice of a less cryptic experience.

It doesn't look like this is going to help those who are confused by UNIX "cryptic" concepts or by those requiring accessibility aids.There were resources for the proof-of-concept installer.

UNIX "cryptic" concepts or by those requiring accessibility aids.
Please, let's not conflate the issue.
I think you may have to unwrap exactly what is "cryptic" before a meaningful discussion can be made. At least accessibility issues can be easily defined.but the cryptic aspects of the software are what drive the wish for newcomers to have the choice of a less cryptic experience.
exactly what is "cryptic"
"… vi … sometimes you will inadvertently issue a command that will do something you do not expect. … when it gives you trouble …" – more than twenty-four years ago.
Problems with accidental/unexpected appearance of vi were acknowledged more than twenty years ago. We should do better.
Avoid putting end users in accident-prone situations.
If you are suggesting that the FreeBSD tips file is filled with "cryptic" issues.

OK, well I'm going to leave it here too. I think potentially your view on what you need from a (base) editor and FreeBSD are a little bit more narrow compared to mine.No, I'm not.
Please stop conflating.
what you need
You assume all other users only have very narrow needs of an editor?It's not about me. It's for the benefit of other users.
just a nice debate.
So it is for the benefit of a certain selection of users? Well consider me speaking on behalf of the other selection of users
