A very nice thing about having vi installed by default, is that you don't
have to think about which editors are available. It's a unix(y) system, so
vi just works. No need to remember if it's nano/pico/whatever on this
specific distro.
It's easy enough to add one's favorite editor when installing.

On Windows, for example, i assume notepad is available, Word etc are
optional (though I usually keep (g)vim on systems I use often).
