+Well, Thomas' reason for mcedit put aside I also vote for mc. I've
+been using the original in MSDOS and through all the years mc has been
+the first package I installed in all my Linux installations (if it was
+not installed by default), even in such a rescue system like grlm. It
+is a very handy file manager for the text console, editor as well. I
+even used it as main menue in an xterm in a minimal installation.
+
+So, although I know my way in vi(m) I'd strongly recommend to give mc a chance.
