I carry around a copy of Vim on a flash drive. Trust me, it's a very
handy diagnostic.
Years ago I used to repair PC's (Back when
you had to type stuff to
do things, and when the 8087 was just awesome...) My editor of
choice was the MSDOS EDLIN tool. Without fail, every client who
watched me working asked why I didn't use QEDIT34 or ExtraED98 or
"InsertAwesomeEditorNameHere", to which I would always reply - 'you
may have "InsertAwesomeEditorNameHere", but I can never guarantee
the next client will have it, so I got good at using the standard
editor!
I just carried around a copy of Turbo Pascal 3.0 on a floppy.
