I recently worked on a system that had the TERM variable botched and filtered and no nano, just vim. It was all hell. The escape sequences in vim wouldn't work. I ended up suspendig it with ctrl+z, killing it, then editing the config with fucking ed and sed. That hoster sucks.
Name and shame.
Vim can do much more than nano, but for it to work, quite a few specific stars need to align, and if they don't you are screwed.
Nano on the other had just works. If it exists in your env.
