Shall I start editor wars?  I use ex, which is almost always there,
until I can install emacs.  Then I'm much happier.  Even though ex is
just a command-line version of vi, I've never learned vi.

PS: Nano seems to be installed on all of my OI systems.  I didn't
install it, so it must have come with the OS just like vi.
