I used to work pretty much daily on Linux, AIX, Solaris (well, all the way back to SunOS 4.1.3U5) and HP-UX.
The only common editor amongst them was plain old
viand so that was it.Often these were customer machines so there was no chance of installing anything else on them.
I can even get by making changes to files using sed/awk in the rare cases that I was ever on a machine that didn't even have vi.
It's so ingrained into me that I've never bothered even considering learning anything else. (Some of the additions in
vimare useful...)(Editors? Luxury! We had to create files by echoing straight to the file and making sure we didn't make a mistake, etc.)
