vi, vim, view, vipw, vigr, and visudo should ALL call vi(m).  The
utilities are called "vi(name)" for a reason.

if you are a computer user cast your mind back to a time when you tried
to do a specific task and the computer decided that it was smarter than
you and knew what you really meant.   I don't think attempting to learn
whatever the cool editor of the week is when you have a sudoers file
full of vi commands and screwy text that was entered before the admin
figured out that VIsudo is not using vi is the best way to learn.

I'm sure someone out there can create a nanosudo, picosudo, joesudo,
etc.  Changing a specific command to call a completely different command
because people who want to admin machines find it a nuisance to learn
the first command is always a bad idea.
