I will sheepishly admit OpenWRT forced me to learn vi. It doesn't hurt as bad now.
Not including nano in base OpenWRT was the slap in the head I needed.

Well done.

People will be saying the same in spaceyear 3049.

It will still outlive whatever text editor is called "modern" today. I can even see this thread outliving a lot of today's text editors.

Fortunately there's no realistic situation that actually requires it except people working on a 80x25 hardware terminal. Anything with curses can do better.

For the record - there are more people today making stone tips for arrows than there were in the actual stone age.
Be careful about what is obsolete or will be on the decline, no matter what it is.
