@lfaraone The first time sensible-editor is run, it lets the user select what editor to use. If the first run is with sudo then it will presumably store this configuration information in the non-root user's configuration (as the default behavior of sudo is to use $HOME from the running user's environment), likely rendering the particular configuration file inaccessible (or at least unchangeable) by the non-root user. Therefore, I doubt it would be a good idea to recommend this approach.
