[ale] Survey -- preferred Text Editor

[Jim Kinney]

vim. It's on pretty much all *NIX (at least as vi) and is often all there
is if the box is horked into runlevel1.

cut teeth on pico and actually coded around it's line-length limit.

The following page will give enough functionality that vim is a working
editor with just these commands. (I need to add the v - visual - block
selection to make it 90% of my daily use).
