Yeah, that's the case on maybe a third of the systems I use. (For me
vi is usually an 'editor of last resort,' used on things like rescue
CDs that don't have any other visual editor. So the version I'm
using is often a very stripped-down one.)
What about nano? mcedit?
I really wouldn't recommend nano for programming. It lacks some
pretty basic functionality, like the ability to quickly skip to the
top or bottom of a file.
I've become an Emacs user, but before that I used "joe" pretty
religiously. I blame this largely on having been brought up on
WordStar. ;)
