Using a non-vi-compatable editor on boot disks is a hanging offense
that debian will pay for once sysadmins try to install Debian but
realize they have better things to do than learn a whimpy editor. It
would be excusable if it was emacs-compatable, but it's not. e3
supports vi, emacs, wordstar, AND pico bindings. It just depends
whether you type vi, emacs, or pico to start it.
Personally I would perfer ed to nano, since it is traditional and more
people know how to use it.
