It is highly unfriendly in 2.22.1 

You need to set EDITOR environment variable to any editor you want.

Otherwise, you will have to install gvim in your machine which will be
taken as the default editor.

This has improved a lot with the trunk. But because of the UI breaks
introduced I couldn't port it to 2.22.X

May be it is a good idea to ask your distro to patch the plugin with
changes from trunk.
