It’s right there in the readme actually:

> The goal is to provide an accessible editor that even users largely unfamiliar with terminals can easily use.

That may be the written goal, but I doubt that's the actual reason the project exists.

My guess would be there are some people at MS who, somehow, still can do something fun. Because they are not assigned on the another project on how to make OOBE even more miserable.

/rant Today I spent 3 (three) hours trying to setup a new MSI AIO with Windows Pro. Because even though it's would be joined to the local ADDS and managed from there - I need to join some Internet connected network, setup a 3 stupid recovery questions which would make NIST blush and wait another 30 minutes for a forced update download which I cannot skip. Oh, something went wrong - let's repeat the process 3 times.

Yeah ... I don't think there's any overlap between "users largely unfamiliar with terminals" who want something easy to use, and 'Linux users who are sufficiently technical that they would even hear about this repo'.

[Gormo]

There are already plenty of those, such as jed, mcedit, etc.

This particular application is incredibly basic -- much more limited than even EDIT for DOS.
