I genuinely do a lot of coding in Kate, the standard KDE editor. It's enough to do a lot of things, has highlighting, and is more than enough when you just need a quick fix.

I am also still using nano when editing stuff in the terminal. Please, don't judge me.

Yep, I came here to say that Kate is really nice. Even though I'm an emacs user and won't use it.

Nano, on the other hand, can't do almost anything, so I can't recommend that people make heavy use of it. It's ok for random small edits, but that's it. (By the way, YSK that you can set your terminal to use Kate as the default editor by setting the $EDITOR variable.)
