Maybe they felt there was no known or documented relationship between that edito...

Bravo is completely different. It's mouse-oriented, with proportional spacing and multiple fonts. It's the ancestor of Microsoft Word. Charles Simonyi worked on both Bravo and Word.

You can use Bravo as a programmer's editor, because the file format is plain ASCII followed by a control-Z, then formatting information. Alto compilers read the plain text part and stop at control-Z.

Mouse aside, Bravo isn't in here because its command set doesn't feel like an ancestor or a child of any of these other editors.

For example it uses G (for Get) to load files and P (for Put) to save them, instead of r (for read) and w (for write) like the ed family does.

(Whereas Sam for Plan 9 uses the mouse like Bravo does, but applies ed-like commands to the mouse selection.)
