Change and export the appropiate EDITOR variable in the init files of your shell. For the bash shell, in your .bashrc . export EDITOR=vim After that either re login or source the change file: ~: source .bashrc Quality is nothing more then the demands someone has of something, same goes for user friendlyness. According to my def. of user-friendly VIM is very userfriendly. You only need to know three to four keystroke commands to make it all work. Surely those four commands can't be much of a problem ?
