While this is very nice, the lack of Control-A/Control-E support to jump around a line is annoying.

On the other hand, Micro supports the Ctrl-based text nav/manip hotkeys (such as Ctrl-arrow, Ctrl-Backspace, CTRL-Home/End, also optionally combined with Shift for selection).

More of a DOS-origin set of hotkeys than GNU. So more familiar to some and less familiar to others.

It supports mouse interaction out-of-the-box, which is a big plus for some folks who haven't spent much time in keyboard navigation. The escape hatch is a nice option for some tasks, even for keyboard navigation pros.

One can always use Home and End in that case.
