The fact that people have to google their way out of such a mundane circumstance is in my opinion enough to give this proposal a:

+1

As background, I am well familiar with vi and I rarely change the EDITOR to emacs, even though it's my own preference.

There are two  reasons:

 * vi starts instantly and emacs doesn't,

 * emacs leaves the *~ files around, and most contexts in which 'vi' is being used is simple enough that my knowledge of vi is sufficient and I don't need the backup files.

Nano comes out favorably in both cases, so even though I have never used it before I think it's a better choice than both vi and emacs.
