It's widely installed because it's seeded on the server; only desktop 
users have to install it.

Is it widely used? I can only speak from personal experience, but I 
point every newbie I can at it, and it's one of the first things I run 
on any freshly flashed server SD card (yes, I have a custom tmux setup I 
prefer for regular use, but for "ephemeral" testing cards I "just byobu 
it").

I also install it on desktop cards ... but I concede that may not be 
normal behaviour :)
