Why would you do that instead of just running crontab -e as your
regular user? If you do edit the file directly as root, just be sure
that your editor won't mangle the permissions on you. Then you'd have
trouble editing them using crontab sometime later.

You weren't editing any file with that command. What that did is
modified your shell environment. If you want to ensure that nano is
always your editor, open up ~/.bash_profile and add a line to export
EDITOR=nano.
