Maybe we already voted on it?  Did you check?

We didn't, but we could have.  In any case, "design by committee" is 
probably not a good thing to advocate here.  If you think that it 
really is a make or break decision, you know where to put the fork.  
If it isn't, then please let the current interface stay instead of 
trying to impose some other tool's face onto it.

For what it's worth, I hate the "start an editor" behaviour of CVS.  
People type rubbish in as log messages when they haven't thought about 
it.  Making it easy for them to keep writing to a log file as they go 
along is a feature, not a bug.
