OK, I agree. So what about instead of nano to do:

cat >>~/.vimrc <<EOH
set laststatus=2
set statusline=Press\ \'i\'\ to\ start\ typing,\ \'<escape>:x\'\ to\ save\ file,\ \'<escape>:q!\'\ to\ quit.
EOH

It is the most user friendly solution (plus the system still remains to be
a UNIX!).

If you're going to say that you have to use vim for it to be unix, you're going to start another war with the emacs users. :-)

The most user friendly solution is to have nano by default with a very easy way to revert to vim for anyone that knows what they are doing.
