Who knows?
You literally cannot even open, much less edit, a basic text file without signing up and paying for yet another subscription-based product. Who knows, maybe this glorified text editor is amazing but you can’t do squat unless you pay first so don’t waste your time downloading the app unless you already know you are going to buy it.

When working with Unix or Unix-like servers, it is one of the best tools to provide functionality for the limited interaction from the command line interface.
