Unlike many Linux text editors with steep learning curves, micro uses familiar keybindings like Ctrl+S to save and Ctrl+C/V to copy-paste, making it easy to use right from the start.

The advantage of using a plain text editor for your writing is that you can focus on your piece instead of formatting. With plain text, you don't need to figure out italics or boldface.

It doesn't matter whether you're coding with Linux, on a Mac, or a Windows PC, a text editor should be easy to use and do the job the way it was intended to be done.
