Here, here. I'm shocked whenever I see a project encouraging its users to install their software by running a curl command piped to a root shell. It's irresponsible, presumptuous, and sets a poor precedence.
I feel like I've tried setting VISUAL, as well, but I can't cite the data confidently, so I must not try it consistently when EDITOR fails. I'll try it, next time such a situation comes up (still won't use vim, though!). Thanks!
