Microsoft has released Edit, a simple terminal-based text editor written in Rust that pays homage to the classic MS-DOS Editor while incorporating modern interface elements similar to VS Code. The editor aims to be accessible to users unfamiliar with terminals and can be installed via WinGet on Windows or built from source using Rust's nightly toolchain. The project includes detailed build instructions and configuration options for package maintainers, particularly regarding ICU library dependencies for search and replace functionality.
