An xterm just came up with this message:

"The default editor in FreeBSD is vi, which is efficient to use
when you have learned it, but somewhat user-unfriendly. To use
ee (an easier but less powerful editor) instead, set the
environment variable EDITOR to /usr/bin/ee"

Isn't this the best reasoning why it should stay as it is?
