Nice! I’ll have to check that out! I used BRIEF back in the early 90’s
developing plant monitoring/management software. Our products ran on DOS and
Windows after that. I’d been using emacs at school, but BRIEF was our editor
of choice for this. The column copy and paste is something I still haven’t
found as intuitive as BRIEF in any other editor.

GRIEF is an open-source BRIEF clone, it can probably do that. (The article
made me try it. I found and reported a few macOS problems, but the Windows
version seems to be functional. I might keep it.)

I am quite happy with (Acme and) GNU Emacs as my GUI editors, but Emacs is

Until recently with Windows Terminal the Windows console app has been garbage.
Any text editor would suck using the classic Windows console.

I find the Windows Terminal much inferior to ConEmu.

Anyway, text editors specifically written for DOS environments integrate
rather well with the „classic Windows console“.
