You can always set the editor in your --global or --local config though:
git config core.editor "vim"
I do agree that using the default editor is a mostly a bad choice due to it being vi/vim rather often.

I know, but as you say that still presents a barrier to entry.
A lot of talented developers that I've worked with use visual git clients exclusively, so imagine their horror when presented not only with an editor they don't use, but also a text-based menu (`git rebase -i`).
