IMO you have to have an editor suitable for root to configure the
system. Vi is fine for those who know it, but it has to be learnt.
Almost anyone who can read can use nano with no knowledge whatsoever.

As for MC, it's in the population of programs that I would never run
as root, along with X, Emacs, …Office, browsers, media players (does
that cover it?). Root does not need Swiss Army knives slashing about.
