I prefer nano over vim

Praise you kind sir..
I only use nano in cases where I absolutely have to use a console text editor, and even then I hesitate to just open a (s)ftp terminal and edit it from VS code.

@Michaelology As you said sometimes you need a console editor and then I also prefer nano, because of simplicity.

@teganburns I guess the rant isn’t about saying that Vim is bad, but rather that it is unnecessarily hard if you just want to edit a file.

I find nano frustrating

@Linux I mean hey, whatever works right? Personally I think it's better for beginners if the instructions to exit the editor are on screen though...
Just for the record, not saying vim is bad.

@Haxk20 nano master race :)

I'm an avid vi user, feels second nature to me. The other day I was helping a coworker with something and he had nano as his default editor for git. I felt like I was using vi for the first time. I typed :wq when I was done and he was probably thinking "why the hell am I asking this guy for help with this shit". Vi is a blessing and a curse.

I use a desktop editor maybe a tenth of a percent of the time I'm editing code, and even that is just gvim or macvim. The vast majority of the time I'm editing something, it's in vim on a remote server.

Eww, being logged in as root

@Haxk20 Nano whore here ;)
