You literally, and I mean literally read my mind dear random stranger down to the wording. Micro is definitely underrated. Micro is a truly goated software. I mean, it can genuinely replace vscode for small scale editing in the context of shopify that the parent comment was referring to. https://micro-editor.github.io/ It also helped me in physics when I had to remember the units like 10^-6 being micro, 10^-9 being nano etc. and the funny thing is that I used to remember it in the start by seeing I am not sure if it was on micro's github or something but it was a comment on how micro has more features than nano and thus it's name. So like for some time I definitely felt like I was thinking of micro software, then nano and making the feature comparison to find micro to be larger than nano. Might seem kinda niche but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MICRO

. Its the one software that I install everywhere, even on my android phone by using UserLand[1] with alpine linux. I tried writing python code on my phone and it was definitely pleasant thanks to micro. [1]:https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/UserLAnd

Lots of people in here talking about trying to use to a tablet for productivity, but finding iPad OS a bit lacking. I'd cautiously suggest you check out the Samsung Tab S7(+). It is likely considered a worse tablet by many, but Samsung Dex [1] actually works quite well and using something like UserLAnd [2] you can have a full Linux environment (without root). I'm still experimenting a bit with the latter, but seeing that Android is still Linux under the hood I'm expecting it to work out in the end. I plan to run code-server [3] on it which would provide a full IDE.
