Vim as default is fine!
The only default editor setting I know of is in fcron.
# Location of the default editor for "fcrontab -e" #editor = /usr/bin/vi editor = /usr/bin/nano Is there another?

I’m not sure nano is "the" answer though I do like it. Just anything besides vim.
Vim is fine for developers. It is the non-developers that struggle. This article explains it pretty well and it includes my struggles to exit!

Q: How do you generate a random string? A: Put a user in front of vi, and tell them to exit
LOL. Good one.
I wouldn’t be against adding nano to the core distribution, although I would draw the line there and say that Joe is then out :)
However, I wouldn’t want to make it the default editor if that is okay.

Hello,
We have (or had) a couple of editors and I am quite against shipping them all.
Everyone has their favourites, and there will always be another one.
What is wrong with vim?

All,
Is it possible to move `nano` from addon to core? It is SOOOOO much easier to use than vim.
I understand it is an easy installed addon but it seems like it really belongs in "core".
