vi is the de-facto standard - you are pretty much guaranteed to find it on all UNIX versions. Emacs can be found on most modern flavours, especially Linux. pico/nano will not be found on all UNIX versions. If you're running Linux, you should be able to install it relatively easily from your installation media (or download the latest version).

Personally, I'd say use vi Smilie
