Or just learn the very basics of the program: Ins to write Esc to enter command mode Shift+V while in cmd mode to select lines, d to cut or y to copy selected lines. p to paste. u in cmd mode to undo, ctrl+r to redo. :q! to quit and discard changes when in cmd mode. :qw to quit and write changes :w to write changes and no exit. It aint that hard really, once you get the hang of it :) - And then I would suggest changing default editor if you still wish.
