Of course I support the idea to add "nano" to the base system. "joe" could be
removed from the base system, if "nano" is installed.
But I'm strictly against removing "vi" from the base system. This would break
nearly many Linux/UNIX tutorials. I could not teach my students, that "vi" is
the only text editor, which is part of _every_ UNIX system, if this is not true
for some popular systems like openSUSE. I think, "vi" should stay part of the
openSUSE base system. If it takes too much disk space, it's possible to use a
"vi" editor with lower disk space usage. For instance some distributions use
"nvi" (Debian) or "vim-minimal" in the base system.
I think, one problem with "nano" is, that it uses line wrapping by default.
That's why "nano -w" should be used for configuration files. May be, the
default line wrapping should be disabled in a /etc/nanorc file.
