sudoedit (and others) use the EDITOR (or VISUAL or whatever) environment variable to chose an editor. Gentoo defaults to nano. It's easy to change it (most experienced Linux users do). # emerge -C nano && emerge vim # echo EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" >> /etc/env.d/99local # env-update And he's right, as a "meta" distribution, "it just works" is generally *not* regarded as a Gentoo principle to shoot for.
