I'm willing to bet that a lot of people, even people responding to this thread, are vim users. However most of us know how to set an environment variable.
What you are witnessing is one person trolling and purporting that it is "always vim users". > just set EDITOR, you are done. > > You might be surprised to know, that most people do not have vim > installed. > But you are forcing others to adhere to something? > > Things change. Maybe vim users should realize that too I've actually never heard of any veteran Gentoo users who use vim complain about anything. Gentoo is *very* friendly to vim, just look at /usr/portage/app-vim. Maybe I've been completely blind but in the 7 years I've been using Gentoo this is the first time I've heard a vim user "get their panties in a knot" and this can be easily discounted as trollage. So perhaps your apparent frustration is misdirected?
