+If no message is given, "Initial commit" will be used.
Why a default message and not running the editor?
Because I would say "Initial commit" anyway.
And I would say "Commit inicial".
And I would describe the current state in a few words.

Invoking an editor is more universal and I don't think the majority
would be contented with "Initial commit".
_Again_, as Peff pointed out, you are welcome to use the current method of 
git init && git add . && git commit, which _does_ launch an editor.

The fact that you want to spend much time (anyway) doing your initial 
commit does not allow you to inconvenience others.

Others who want to have a quick way to work safely with something they 
might need to change, and might then want to use the full power of Git to 
see what they changed.  Without any need for a "nice" first commit.

Ciao,
