This always made me crazy.
Why, why, why should I use a specialized editor to edit a system file?
It's not like we have vixorgconf, vifstab. You are welcome to edit these
files with any editor you like. Why is /etc/sudoers special?
Because it needs to be checked for errors before you save it.
But visudo uses the editor specified in the EDITOR environment variable
(a lot programs do; EDITOR for editing and VISUAL for viewing). In
/etc/env.d/99local, I have:
EDITOR=kwrite
So here, visudo brings up KDE's text editor.
