As far as I have understood, adb shell opens a shell against the embedded
kernel, and that one does not have edotors, nor GNU compiler etc. I was
thinking about toying with adding something like that, but I'm pretty
certain that there is also no X-windows in the embedded kernel, so it must
be something without graphical interface.

If you want to create a simple file on your device, you might use cat for
that, but that can hardly be called an editor. ;-)

If you have no specific reason for editing files via adb (or on the device
itself, if you have a shell application installed) I suggest you stick to
editing on your computer and then move the files via adb push, or even via
drag and drop, which also works fine.

(Also, even if it is rather obvious, the sdcard is the only write-enabled
part unless you remount the internal memory.)
