editor alternatives?



Hi,  sorry if this is already discussed and decided--in that case a
pointer would be appreciated.

Anyway,  I noticed that of the editors I have, nvi has the highest
priority for the editor alternative.  (I have nano and elvis-tiny
also).  Is this really sensible?  That means e.g. that a new user (not
used to unix) that tries mutt and send a mail get thrown into vi-from
where they will not be able to get out!  They will have a bad
first impression.  Should not some more newbie-friendly editors have
higher priority?  When they grow up and want/can use vi, they set
EDITOR to vi anyway.
