vi is everywhere

I use vi. Yes, in the beginning it is quite difficult to use, but when you become familiar with it - you'll love it.
Another advantage - vi (or some clone) is present in all UNIXes 'by default'. So in mixed environment (e.g. Linux and Solaris) you can use the same editor on all servers.
