vi

This is a fossil from the early days of Unix.
Advantages: universally available on every Unix system; quite powerful; people who grew up on vi can type incredibly fast with it, because of intelligent key bindings.
Disadvantages: runs only via a dumb terminal interface; like Unix, arcane and hard to learn and use.
