Here's the one reason why I decided to learn Vim rather than emacs: You will find Vim installed somewhere on basically any Unix-like system running in the world. It's the one I can virtually guarantee is there, as part of busybox if nothing else.
Except for Gentoo, for some odd reason they've never included it in the stage tarball so it always has to be installed manually
Which is even weirder when you realize it is included on the live install iso, so you'll be using it up until you chroot and all of a sudden find it's not available anymore
That's a bit like...at one point during Linux Mint's installation, it removes gparted. gparted is included in the Live environment, but not in the standard install.
