Isn’t it a better use of our time figuring out why these poor souls keep accidentally opening vi/vim at the first place? Maybe defaults are not what they ought to be.

I accidentally end up in vim every time I set up a new system, because I forget that git uses `vi` for commit messages by default. At least I have finally memorized `git config --global core.editor` instead of having to look it up every time.
