simple edit(s). BTW I'm the maintainer for ee(1) on FreeBSD. ;-)

Shall I start editor wars?
LOL. No. Please don't. :-)
I'm can just as easily get by with cat(1), awk(1) and sed(1).

 I use ex, which is almost always there,
until I can install emacs.  Then I'm much happier.  Even though ex is
just a command-line version of vi, I've never learned vi.

PS: Nano seems to be installed on all of my OI systems.  I didn't
install it, so it must have come with the OS just like vi.
