To find out what packages are loaded on a Debian system do:

dpkg -l | grep  [Ee]ditor

will show you a list of all of the editors loaded on the system

dpkg -l will give you a listing of everything

I do not consider hand coding html the hard way.  In the long run your 
code is a lot smaller and formated for someone later to work on it.

Joe and every other editor imaginable is part of the Debian Distribution.

As you mentioned it is good to choose the tool based upon the function 
that the tool will perform.  I doubt that your client needs something as 
robust as PostgreSQL.  If your client does need something that big I 
might be wise to set up a separate box as a SQL server.
