NANO GANG RISE
for everything else, there's sublime.
I tend to work on customer systems where I'm not allowed to install anything. I've yet to encounter one that doesn't have vi
installed, but I've seen a few without nano
.
vi is part of the POSIX standard, so it'll be available in some form on almost anything UNIX-flavoured
Which is a great reason to at least familiarize yourself with it. It's the lingua franca of text editors.
Unless you wanted to learn to use ed (which you don't)
ed is sadly not installed by default on some modern distros. Even vi is often a symlink to vim in vi-mode.
Really? Not that I'd notice, but I assumed ed
was so tiny that there wouldn't be any reason to not include it. (Ubuntu has it and it's 59KB)
Asking for vi
and getting vim
is just a pleasant surprise :)
:q!
If you like Sublime, you're gonna love Micro.
