No sweat off my back, I'm a vi/vim guy, myself. The wet blanket applies to people migrating who might not know vi/vim. Post below me mentions nano, that's another good alternative. To give a little background, the guy teaching RHCE classes was using nano during his demonstrations. I think it's a linux thing, some people apparently never spend the time to pick up vi/vim. Since OSOL seems to attract users from the linux crowd, it might be wise to include things that are necessary on a system in order for them to use it.
My personal opinion is that everybody should learn vi/vim, but I seriously doubt that is going to happen.
