From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Then you should definitely check it out: vis.

Its original goal was to be a vim clone with 90% of the features in 10% of the code. Then it grew into being the bastard son of Vim and Sam editors (plan9's structural regex based editor).

The result is vis, an editor with vim like navigation and text manipulation mechanics, but with access to Sam's powerful structural regex commands which works selection wise, rather than likewise like vim. Check this paper to learn about it: struct-regex.pdf.
