      I tend to work on customer systems where I’m not allowed to install anything. I’ve yet to encounter one that doesn’t have vi installed, but I’ve seen a few without nano.

              ed is sadly not installed by default on some modern distros. Even vi is often a symlink to vim in vi-mode.

                Really? Not that I’d notice, but I assumed ed was so tiny that there wouldn’t be any reason to not include it. (Ubuntu has it and it’s 59KB)

                Asking for vi and getting vim is just a pleasant surprise :)
