[OT] For an awesome WordStar clone under Linux, nothing beats the "joe" editor. It can be run as "jstar" which is a pretty accurate WordStar clone. I still use it when I need to do serious writing.

The simplest 'Doze Notepad clone for Linux that is very easy to use is "Leafpad".

I can't use Kate because I kicked KDE and all its libraries and executables off my
computer almost a decade ago. I just tried gedit and it's the perfect simple
intuitive editor.

By the way, I re-tried Nano and it's not that bad. If I didn't know Vim or Emacs (I
actually don't know Emacs), and if I were in a pure no-X CLI environment where I
couldn't use gedit, Nano would be fine. Heck, it's a lot like Wordstar.
