I've used the editor that came with Pine, pico,  since 1996.

I had a program for my Radio Shack COlor Computer running Microware OS-9 
that was a variant of Vi, that was bout 1987 or 88.  I ddnt' like it, but 
I had it.  A couple of years later, I was runing a flakey Atari ST, and 
found Mark WIlliams C for it at a clearance, and I'm not sure what editor 
came with that.  Maybe there were two, because I know I could use a 
version of Emacs on it, and I remember getting a book about emacs, but 
don't remember actually using emacs.
