Is vi still the default? On Debian it sure isn't, nano is the default and has been for years, and I can only assume the debian derivatives have all followed suit. That'd already be most new installs taken care of.

If you find something that opens vi unexpectedly, double-check $EDITOR's value then file a bug report and tell them to follow $EDITOR.

Just to add to that some programs also use their own variable like GIT_EDITOR, SVN_EDITOR,...

  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
