IMnsHO, teach this person to use the tools already available: both nano, diffutils and less are part of base. Teach person to use "diff -u" combined with less and to excersise some judgement about the difference between the working copies and the new files. Most of the time it is a matter of jotting down a couple of lines in a piece of paper (anathema!!!!) and edit the already working file to add a couple of lines or change a couple of settings to new defaults. Make sure to emphasize the use of "nano -w" and you won't have broken lines in the config files.
The only diff tool comparable to vimdiff that comes into my mind is emacs diff mode.
