Actually vi is definitely out of question. It is the one single
editor one can expect for sure on every unixoid operating system under
the sun and it is an unquestionable feature to have it present. This
is not a matter of personal preference but an almost hard coded Unix
standard i wouldn't want to do without. This doesn't touch the fact
that MC would be a very convenient additional feature for a user
friendly Debian base system. Who cares about it anyway if J.J.Troup
likes it or not just because he (supposedly) doesn't really know it? ;-)
