How to reassign default editor for different file types from the command line?

Question

I am looking for a way to reassign default editor on OS X. For example I want to reassign all file types opened by TextEditor with TextWrangler.

Probably it has something to do with the defaults command but I do not know how to list current assignments and change them.

There is a command line utility called Duti which can do this.

There is no easy way to do this using built-in commands.

You might want to take a look at this question on Super User. It's not really as easy as editing .plist file with defaults.
