Do you actually have it set?
I'm wondering if programs utilizing $EDITOR is actually something that will work for most people, or if nobody bothers to set it.

You need to set it (or $SUDO_EDITOR, or $VISUAL) if you want sudo -e to work.

Not him, but I do, because otherwise git would default to nano for editing commit messages.

If it's good enough for git, then it's good enough for whatever the fuck you're trying to make.
