VI is in the base install for most, if not all, unix machines, including the roboRIO. The tiny version in busybox is missing a bunch of features, but it does let you edit files with the basic commands. I'm just as efficient editing files on my local machine as any remote machine that I'm logged into. With all the shortcuts available, and not needing to remove my hands from the home row, I can move really fast.
Of course, everyone has an opinion on editors, and what works well for me may not work well for you...
