Hi Sthu.
I agree with you that, if an editor is as small and more intuitive
and self-explanatory than Nano, it can be a good choice. But let's not
complicate the problem by envisionning too many combinations. The
proposed alternative was:
1) have nano and vi installed and nano as the default, like in Debian
2) have vi only
I, like most others tried to remain within this alternative.
Regards,
Didier
