Today I finally learned that:"sudo update-alternatives --config editor" allows me to replace the dreaded nano by vim.

@cameron Said it before, will say it again: not my machine, and my users prefer nano.So, I have to keep it on the machine and revert the changes from vim back to nano.After that, the machine is out of my hands, they will do whatever they want with it.
