Then set EDITOR=<path_to_vim>
If you want to cheat and only use 'vi' then you need to walk the dependency chain and/or search_for_binary mechanism employed by the SHELL to find the correct target. You can of course set this as 'system-wide global' or down in your login shell, or in sub-shell scope.
It is NOT the application packager's job to do your homework for you, or to hijack the process because some percentage of people prefer it a certain way.

Also, you seem to be not aware that /bin/sh RARELY actually invokes BASH. On some Linux distros it does, but you should NOT rely on that being true anywhere else.
