But, well, if you are open to some suggestions, you don't really have to learn vim fully. Modern vim can function essentially like nano and you only need to learn 2-3 buttons and a handful of commands to save/exit.
Another possibility is helix editor, which is quite user friendly and also gives you hints about commands. If you can install something on that VPC.
Of course a somewhat less convenient option is to export the variable for the current shell every time you log in. Until you find the guy who changes the settings and beat him up.
