(1) I'd prefer to postpone this dicussion till after hamm is released.
(2) mc on my system always uses vi, even if I have EDITOR turned off.
(presumably because it wants to save my preferences, and doesn't
understand that I have different working environments).
(3) ae is sufficiently easy to use, and sufficiently small.

Outside the scope of debian-devel. Or, at least, I'd rather concentrate
on getting hamm out the door than in editor religious discussions.
If you are after opinion (as opposed to discussion), I'll be following
this letter with a personal one to you, describing my own concepts of
why vi is popular.
