I'd disagree. vi is very newbie unfriendly. OTOH I expect people that know how to navigate vi to be able to `apt install vi` without any problem. *t
My initial feeling was similar, but we're talking about systems that only have minbase/priority Essential packages and nothing else. Newbies are not going to be using such systems. And if there's a choice between a not-small (~2MiB) friendly editor in the minimal images, OR a vi implementation, the latter is more important IMHO, and comes with the advantage of also being the smaller choice. One circumstance that non-newbies might be interacting with a minbase system includes odd environments where "apt install *" is not an option. -- 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ j...@dow.land 🔗 https://jmtd.net
