The 'write an editor' think could be traced to the programming books of
the day. They tended to use string handling in their examples and it
followed 'Oh, I can write an editor'.

Borland Pascal (and Borland C I suppose) at some point came with a set of libraries that allowed to create menu based text applications, and one of the included objects was an editor, for at least 65K of text.

I remember another set of libraries, that came with a thick book, that included the libraries to create an editor. I don't remember the name.
No Borland stuff yet when we got our PCs ... and
we couldn't afford anything but the MS/IBM FORTRAN
compiler for the stats people. So, I opened the
Tek Ref manual and wrote my EdLin-killer in MASM.
It was fun too :-)
No real internet back in '82 ... so you couldn't
download other people's solutions. The few BBS
systems were mostly Commodore/Atari stuff.
I did not have a phone in the 80's, so neither a modem. But I lived at a student residence at Uni, so exchanging software via floppy was trivial ;-)
