MacOSX has "open", though it won't be running a blocking editor, alas.

But it can be. From the man page:

    -t  Causes the file to be opened with the default text editor, as deter-
        mined via LaunchServices

and

    -W  Causes open to wait until the applications it opens (or that were
        already open) have exited.  Use with the -n flag to allow open to
        function as an appropriate app for the $EDITOR environment variable.

and finally

    -n  Open a new instance of the application(s) even if one is already run-
        ning.

can be combined to make 'open' (the shell interface to OS X's LaunchServices system) into a workable $EDITOR.
