With all versions up to 10.2, Midnight Commander has been part of the standard
selection for installation. I use it for configuring from the command line
(especially mcedit) and when talking new users through configuring, I always
get them to use mc and mcedit to edit files and locate files, as these are
incredibly easy to use and navigate (compared to vi and emacs, which are
powerful, but user unfriendly).

I notice with 10.2 that MC is now an optional install. Is it possible to move
it back into one of the default utilities/power user patterns?

I can install it when I think about it, but by the time new users require a
simple text editor with onscreen prompts, it is probably too late...
