Fuck that. Wordstar had been available on CP/M for ages, and was better
than vi.
So when it turned up on DOS everyone grabbed a pirate copy. 'joe'
emulates it these days for Linux

I don't know about the difference between wordstar and vi ages ago. I
have always used vim. Last time I checked joe is nowhere close to vim.

That's what I said.
You may say that Wordstar doesn't have all the regex extensions that VI had, but remember, when your output device is a teleprinter you really NEED those.
Wordstar assumes an 80x25 character screen.
