Why are people still treating this like a deal breaker? It's a static go binary, if I can ssh to it, I can scp micro to it, or more typically just curl the latest release from GitHub into ~/.local/bin (no sudo!). Just like you'd do with your vimrc.

Apparently this is controversial.

Because sometimes I can't download binaries from the internet and sometimes... well, I don't have the internet! One scenario for the latter is installing an OS from scratch.

One might call me lazy but I don't want to end up learning multiple editors for different scenarios if the benefits are marginal, especially if I can get away with just one!
