I love nb because it is super lightweight and can run just about anywhere you have bash available, from a single ass script.

It also features perpetual improvement utilizing a cadre of non-essential un-dependencies that if you have them installed? You can use them for a better experience but if not, it will work with nothing but bash and vi or your favorite editor. Good times!
