The incredibly rich feature set provides an effective processing option for (nearly) every administration task, no matter how complex. This is unmatched by any other editor included in Fedora.

I like that idea. On the other hand, hardly any how-to writes with a specific editor in mind (e.g. "Press :wq to save and quit) and the mention of a specific program name is more of a placeholder that can/must be adapted just like other file- oder variable names in the sample code.
E.G. instead of
[…]# vi /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp1s0.nmconnection
I would have to write
[…]# {YOUR_EDITOR} /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/{IF_NAME}.nmconnection
It’s possible, but is it worth it? The lines are usually too short anyway, every letter counts, and it doesn't make it easier to read, and more effort with copy & paste.
