You don't need an editor installed at all if you have sshd running (which 
you'd want to, anyway, in order to use Ansible or similar tools). Many text 
editors these days make it quite convenient to edit files remotely by using 
ssh, scp, or similar tools to copy content back and forth, so you can run the 
editor of your choice (including vim, if you must) on the big-ass graphical 
workstation under your desk in order to edit files on the editor-less 
“minimal” virtual machine somewhere in the cloud. This is particularly nice 
because that editor can be the editor you're using for everything else, too, 
like code, documentation, e-mail, or papers, so you don't need to switch 
mentally between “real-work editor” and “minimal-system editor” mode.
