There is a tradeoff in choosing which home directory to use. By using
your own, your config files are used and applications behave the way you
have configured them and come to expect them to. By using root's, they
use root's config, which usually means defaults, and is not what you
expect. The problem can't be solved by sudo. The solution is the empty
.vimrc in /etc/skel.
