What's your reasoning behind needing it to be a default install? seems an odd requirement for an editor.
For instance, notepad is default on windows, and I'll use that when needed on vanilla windows machines, but for the 99% of my editor needs I install and customize a number of enviroments (including Vim). I don't mind whether it's installed by default or not.
- cortesoft 9y agoI am guessing he works at a place that has a lot of servers that he connects to, and he wants to be able to use his editor on whatever server he is on. I know this is an issue where I work. We have 40 thousand plus servers, and we aren't going to have everyone install their editor of choice on all those machines. If I have an issue I need to check on a server that requires some text editing, I have to use one of the default editors.

- ivrrimum 9y agoYeah, but sshfs has been working pretty slow to me. There is actually this neat hack you can use(if you use VIM) with rsync. https://github.com/IvRRimum/rsync-vim https://github.com/IvRRimum/rsync-vim I know it's kind of Hacky, but the performance improvement is worth it IMO.
