Even some (all?) of the BSDs include more simple, self-explanatory 
editors, in their base system, offering a less steep learning curve. 
And the BSDs make an effort to keep anything that isn't essential out 
of the base system. So even in a server-oriented platform there is need 
for a more self-explanatory editor. And there are plenty of them to 
choose from.

Pardon my ignorance if we've already got one in the repository. :)
