vi vs ae



I noticed that somewhere ae has started taking over as the default editor in place of vi/vim. I have tried placing EDITOR="vi" in the /etc/profile line but it doesn't always work.

CVS was defaulting to ae.
crontab will sometimes default to ae.

How do I fix this? ae is not at all what I am accustomed to and was rather dismayed to find it so prevelant on all my systems overnight.

Is there some history here I wasn't aware of?
