Don't forget us nanoites. The clearly superior text editor
I don't do a lot of text editing in terminal, but I used to have to at my last job and I always reached for nano and gave instructions fot nano since it's just pick up and use.
Nano just feels sluggish as soon as you know vim keybindings. Emacs is a bit overkill for some quck edits, but nano is just to basic
Yeah, again, I don't do much terminal text editing. I have an IDE. If I'm trying to help someone across the country 1000 miles away fix something on the machine I develop for, I'm going to give them instructions on something that will be incredibly easy to use. I don't want to have to explain why the arrow keys aren't working and why they have to use jkl; to navigate or explain how enter edit mode or how so save and exit. Keep it simple stupid.
