John just summarized the whole situation in two sentences, and IMHO
made the most telling argument for keeping things just the way they are
now.

Anybody, and I mean *anybody*, can use Nano. For me, Nano is horribly
unproductive. I hate it. But if I can look at the bottom of the screen,
I can use it enough to change or add a few config file. As John says,
one of the first tasks of the machine's proprieter is to install an
editor that he or she is productive in, but everybody can muddle
through Nano until they install what they really want.

Today Daniel Reurich called this thread "Bikeshedding". At this point I
tend to agree with him. Let's just keep the default editor and SMTP
server the same, and move on to the important tasks standing between us
and release.
