big brother is watching me.

An xterm just came up with this message:

"The default editor in FreeBSD is vi, which is efficient to use 
when you have learned it, but somewhat user-unfriendly.  To use 
ee (an easier but less powerful editor) instead, set the 
environment variable EDITOR to /usr/bin/ee"

Isn't this the best reasoning why it should stay as it is?
