If this is still true in the latest versions, I find it pretty amazing that something like this has been maintained all the way until 2023.
Well, that's basically a deal breaker in 2025.
But the real question is: Can it run evil mode?!
No. It lacks elisp. It offers some familiar keyboard shortcuts to appease your muscle memory, multiple buffers, screen splits, but apparently not much more.
Still maintained. There was an update in May of this year.
ASCII is still adequate for great many programming tasks, especially in highly confined environment where JOVE can make sense.
