Hmmm... I for one would not want it to be the standard editor. Vi is
and always has been the standard editor for unix. I think it should
stay that way. One of the first two commands on any new boxen that I
create is:
rm /usr/bin/ee ; ln -s /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/ee
Lets keep the unix editor the standard unix editor, vi... or at least
offer a choice ,I think there is/was somthing like that in the
/stand/sysconfig when configuring. At least for vipw.
