*Correct, it can be used, but I thought usermod (existing user) or adduser (new user) was also an acceptable method to add a user to the 'sudo' group. Source <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Allowing_other_users_to_run_sudo>, Source2 <http://askubuntu.com/questions/7477/how-can-i-add-a-new-user-as-sudoer-using-the-command-line>. Is it not?* usermod, no idea no experience with it but adduser is no. Think about it. Why would you want every user you add to the system to have sudo permissions ? Hint: You wouldnt.
So, you add a new user then if you want to give that user sudo access, you use visudo. Which originally did use vi, but now uses nano as the default editor.
