Text editor for UNIX novice

Folks:

 I am putting the finishing touches on a very nice OpenBSD
equipped
IBM T23 for a friend. This guy has never touched a computer
in his
life. My question is,  which editor should he be taught;
Emacs or Vi?
Feel free to suggest another editor but it has to be capable
of
working without X.

Kind regards,
Jonathan
