> The creator of MINIX, Andrew Tanenbaum, asked the community to choose between Stevie and Elvis to be adopted as the main text editor for their OS. Elvis was chosen and it's the default text editor on MINIX until today.

Point of order: Minix switched to BSD nvi in 2013 https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...

Not that it matters -- Minix itself hasn't had a commit since 2018 -- but the last five years of its life were spent without Elvis
