I’m gonna say it. I prefer Nano. Vim is nice and emacs exists but I just feel most comfortable in the hands of my precious Nano.

.

It's okay, don't worry.

(Note to self, "Bubbles is not worthy"...)

PS: I don't mind Nano for a quick edit, but it's very limited beyond that.

@Jilano it’s okay to be wrong. You just have to own up to it 🤣

@Bubbles :s/wrong/right/g

:)

enjoy mashing those arrow keys i guess

@jesustricks I’m used to that, I do that with my GUI editors too so that little part doesn’t bother me

Nano's usefulness falls off pretty quickly, it's good in a pinch but not the greatest for extended work on large projects.

And that's okay, that's pretty much what nano is supposed to do.

@Bubbles I'm used to needlessly wasting time too, except in coding

@jesustricks yeah it can be tedious but it gives me time to contemplate if life is really worth it

Have you heard of micro?

@kescherRant no

@Bubbles

It is pretty nice.

@kescherRant "It seems bigger than Nano, though" :D

@Jilano Just like nano is the successor of pico.

Meh, use whatever feels best for you. I'm a vim guy. Bob opposite me is an emacs guy. Kate opens everything in wordpad, and we tend not to talk about that.

Never got the heated debates around what editors people use. Why does anyone care?! *shrug*

Simpleton.

@AlmondSauce as @Root beautifully summarised, "There's no need to start a debate when you already know you're superior."

Heretics will be burned. Prepare the stake!

@Root damn

@arcsector do it

@Bubbles 💛🙂

@Root these are some intense mixed signals

Whatever rocks your boat. ;)

Dear haters,

nano can do regex searches, auto-indentations, source highlighting, multi-buffering and can remember cursor positions between sessions.

It is very useful whenever vim/emacs are just too many unused features.

Please stop flaming.

I love nano too!

@Yamakuzure @coder7 brethren, we gather here today in celebration of Nano and the wonderful community it has accumulated

@jaza-k we need to start a Nano army

@Yamakuzure @jaza-k @Bubbles Look at you! Already three of you! What a cute little army you have here :D

"Who's a good little soldier? You are! Yes!"

(I'm quite enjoying this thread)

@Jilano there will be more and we will arise above all and create the largest Nano army and rule the world

@Bubbles Like... Four people?

@Jilano it’s more than 3!

@Bubbles That is true. Time to assemble your Nano army and march to... Hum... Yes.

@Jilano we will invade and you won’t be prepared

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Try that in Nano!

@Jilano what can vim do that nano can't? Just curious as I always use nano and if vim is more powerful I'd be more than willing to switch.

@a3y3 Apart from basic things such as being able to use sed by default, Vim highly extensible. You can probably find a plugin for anything or make one if you feel like it.

@a3y3 at https://openvim.com/ you'll find an interactive vim tutorial.
