Not counting sed and email, the editors I use 99.8%+ of my time on Linux are those built into OFMs, which for me are Midnight Commander and FileCommander/L. ~.01% or less of the time that no OFM is or can be made available, I use Nano. Usually if MC isn't installed I try installing it first before trying any fallback. MC in Konsole is one of the bits that hooked me on KDE back around the turn of the century. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
