[hobbit] Future of Hobbit

[Josh Luthman]

I love VIM myself, though I have to admit sometimes it's easier to use

If you're familiar with MS Edit then you should have no problems with nano
or pico.  I've been noticing these two are being phased out, but you should
still be able to get one or the other.
