TBH, I rarely noticed the warning from nvim. I did get in the habit of learning when to use sudoedit though.

Sometimes I overlook the warning too, to be completely honest. But when that happens, I think "oh, my bad" and not "this is Linux's fault!"

I'm sure that you can restyle the warning in vim so that it is more eye catching, but I've never tried.

We can't very well honestly call Linux 'new user friendly' with issues like this that many of us are familiar with. Another legit attitude to have is: "what do you expect for free?".

I agree that editing system configuration files with a text editor is not 'new user friendly', but that is true for all operating systems, no?
