> For what we need that vi -> vim symlink introduced in http://dev.haiku-
os.org/changeset/36082? Is vi still required by some other Haiku utils
using it as default editor? In such case we have to fix those tools to
using "nano" as default editor
AFAIK, posix mandates a "VISUAL" environment variable which should point
to the default editor. So instead of hardcoding nano, we should just
define VISUAL to the location of the nano binary, and use that environment
variable in those tools which hardcode vi / vim as editor.
