- executesorder66 9y agoYes, but it is not installed as the default text editor. Unlike vi/vim/nano
- cosarara97 9y agoThe default is usually vi or nano, not full vim. So installing vim or neovim should take about the same effort.
- vopi 9y agoIn what distros? Ubuntu comes with vim.
- cryptarch 9y agoDebian Stable (without a DE) only comes with nano AFAIK.
- jimktrains2 9y agoI'd bet good money both ed and vi are there as they are specified by POSIX iirc.
- gh02t 9y agoIt has vi in the base system, specifically `vim-tiny`. Vi is mandated by POSIX, so pretty much every distro includes some minimal version of it in the base system. `nvi` is also used sometimes instead.
- pcmonk 9y agoYeah, but it's vim.tiny. They don't even alias it to `vim` because it's not full vim.
