Defaulting to vi if $EDITOR or $VISUAL are not set is normal, widely accepted behaviour.
Interesting article, but one that suggests that Slackware is an OS which is stuck in the past. How does it cope with package updates (upstream security fixes etc?). Is the user notified, or is it necessary to manually check through every installed package? How does it cope with substantial (e.g. libc) updates and the resultant chaos in dependant packages?
