Unless a distribution offers a choice for the default editor, it will be
impossible to satisfy everyone.
I don't despise nano nor emacs, I simply don't use them, and I'm sure I'll
never will. So nano or emacs would be very bad choices for me.
The best choice is to let the user choose it's own default editor.
