Try pico, it's also somewhat widespread and vastly simpler than vi -
you'll recognize the commands if you use pine for mail. But in vi's
defense, I'd say it's a good tool to learn, because it's ubiquitous.
I've yet to encounter a machine that lacks vi(m), so I've made a point of
becoming comfortable with it - so much so that I keep accidentally
bungling this message by typing vi commands that pine does not understand.
