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?
If you want to edit the sudoers file you have to use the visudo command which by default uses vi.
You can use nano with visudo by running
# EDITOR=nano visudo
and to change the editor permanently add the following into the sudoers file.
# Reset environment by default Defaults env_reset # Set default EDITOR to nano, and do not allow visudo to use EDITOR/VISUAL. Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nano, !env_editor
Regards,
Adolf.

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".
