I don't remember what program it was but I once went to configure something, and the command to "open settings" essentially just opened a text file in vim.

Being a nano scrub that took me a second to get out of.

It probably opened it in ${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vim}}; usually setting one of those variables in e.g. bashrc will avoid future vim.
