I've always used vi for those, but only because I did not know there was a dedicated command! Anyway, these look like wrappers that set a lock and then invoke your editor. I suppose that in a single user, single admin environment it does not make much difference using nano vs vipw. BTW I don't think you'd need -s with vipw, the shadow file only contains password-related info which you do not want to change.
