Some real talk.

Can we just include the 4 most popular text editors on basic systems??

Like i wanna scream when there isnt my text editor installed on a lightweight distro.

Vi Emacs Micro Nano

For context,

Debian ships with nano and vi Openwrt only ships with nano

Like cant we just include small editors. In a perfect world i would want neovim installed. But i understand its larger and has alot more dependency's.

So having VI isnt as good but im willing to be reasonable.

JUST INCLUDE VI

the reason i learned vim is because VI is installed by default on almost every distro.

Im tempted to try emacs tho

It's important to learn how to use package managers. :)

Emacs macros are sooo nice.

EMacs is an operating system masquerading as an editor.

For OpenWRT Nano is a good choice. Nobody spends hours in a text editor on that system. You can ssh into it and use any fancy editor with a million plugins installed on your own computer.
