Wait a sec - did I understand correctly that you want to tell people
to use vi in the user manual?

So I take you expect that people going through the manual are skilled
enough to use vi and if not, they'll be smart enough to use nano
instead?

Maybe the manual should explain how to use vi: how to save, exit etc..
I have no idea how to use it. Maybe a link to vi howto?

I have no problems accepting that some prefer more vi than nano but I
have hard time accepting it being suggested in a manual where you
can't be sure people know how to use it as it isn't as
self-explanatory as nano, no matter how much Ctrl you have to use.
