I'm tempted to revert to WordStar myself, and could even live with 80 columns, but 25 lines is a deal breaker.

Banging out quick text in vi is pretty painless and fmt is your friend to get the line fill right. If I'm in a hurry :1,$!fmt -w 75 means not even leaving the editor.
Anecdotally back when Wordstar was in its heyday people used to ape the name for their products. One of the sales guys I worked with could never stop laughing about a farm management app called Dirtstar.
Why not any one of the new editors which are very basic and can handle any terminal size? Or wordtsar?
