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.
