My problem is when there is something wrong with the computer and I have to boot in the rescue mode, I can't rescue anything because emacs is not there. I wrote on a piece of paper how I would save and exit in vi, or exit without saving in vi, but that paper is gone now. I wish vi had some tutorial the way emacs does, so one don't get lost in it. The other day at work, I had to tweak some stuff in one of our servers, but I found that another person at work removed emacs from the machine because "it takes too much space". There I realized that Emacs has always been the scapegoat. When did Fedora stop installing emacs by default? Fedora Core 3?
