A possibly more "intuitive" editor built in OS X is pico, a stand- 
alone version of the text editor of the pine email software.

However, it seems use of vi(m) is hardwired inside updmap, and I'm  
not sure you can coerce updmap into calling another editor. updmap is  
actually a perl script, which can be inspected. I think the following  
lines:

     case "$cmd" in
       edit)
         ${VISUAL-${EDITOR-vi}} "$cnfFile";;

defines vi to be the editor called by the --edit option.
