Mousepad is, but you shouldn't run anything graphical as root. The
built-in editors that I know of are vim and the similar nano, run from
a terminal. I never grew up with this style of editor, and I don't like
them, but they're OK for emergencies. There should be plenty of web
tutorials, you only need to do a few things.

Once you have installation working, there are other editors. I like the
editor in Midnight Commander (package name mc) for quick tweaks and
Geany for coding work. Many people favour emacs, but I've never been
that serious.
