!ae as default text-editor on base-install

["S. Champ" <s-champ@postoffice.pacbell.net>]

hello.


i remember seeing the statement that `ae' was chosen as the default text-editor,
for the basic debian install, because of its lightweight-ness.


i'd like to suggest a switch to `zile'.

http://www.debian.org/Packages/frozen/editors/zile.html


and if this won't be acceptable, i'd like to know why

( and not rudely meaning that, just honestly. i'm curious about how it might
compare. `zile' seems lightweight enough, and is nicely close to the emacsen
interface, and seems better than ae.  i need to hear the other side to it,
though; the issues i'm not yet aware of about it. )


thank you.
