I'm a emacs guy, but nano should be the only one installed by default. The default editor should tell you how to exit!

    Not our fault everyone blows past the kind offer of : vimtutor on startup! (I kid. The default editor shouldn't require a class.)

    You're 100% correct. Nano is a perfectly reasonable default.

    That said, it is 2026. It also wouldn't kill us to default to an interactive one-time prompt that defaults to nano, but offers one or two others, and removes itself after setting the user's choice.
