I like using joe(1) in text mode. It's easy to find the help, and help appears in split screen mode, so I don't need to memorize the keys. It does search and replace, block cutting and pasting and indenting: there's enough features there to make it useful for editing scripts and configuration files, but not so many that it's complicated. Also if you type __jstar__ joe starts up in Wordstar mode. If you like that sort of thing. --GlynWebster
There are also a variety of what one might call "minimal" text editors such as sed(1), ed(1) and red(1). Generally speaking unless you know why you want these programs, you don't want them. --StuartYeates

+Uh, that doesn't mean uninstall them tho, sed(1) is kinda critical to many system services --PerryLorier
