Sure, why not something like pico / nano? Seems more friendly to occasional users, who are the people most likely to hit the default.

- airstrike 8y agoWould you drive a Yaris if you had a Ferrari in your garage? Didn't think so
- nkozyra 8y agoI'd rather drive the Yaris to pick up groceries and the Ferrari to movie premieres and races. I don't see much value in having an Uber powerful editor for git commits.
- kazinator 8y agoThere is value in having just one editor. Some developers perform fairly complex edits when preparing commit messages.
- improbable22 8y agoAbsolutely, but those ones will already have pulled in their usual configurations. In cars, it's more like your airbnb host tosses you the keys & asks if you can park it in the basement quickly while he opens up. Much better a Yaris than a stick-shift V12 monster with no rear window.
- kazinator 8y agoIt's not a great analogy. Would you drive an unwanted Yaris that came installed with your house, if there was no downside to using your Ferrari: no fuel economy, no damage risk? Of course not. I don't worry that Vim is going to be scratched by a runaway shopping cart, or go through 80 dollars of gas in a week. When it comes to cars, people would in fact drive the Yaris.
- afiori 8y agoDo you know how expensive it is to own and use an high end car?
- nicoburns 8y agomicro would be a nice default. It has syntax highlighting, mouse support, and keybindings compatible with windows GUI programs (ctrl-s for save, ctrl-q for quit, etc).
