I mean, nano is cool I guess.

But just today my colleague asked what parameter add to a configuration file. He asked me should it be before or after this line? I told him before, he added it after. He had to select the line with the mouse, copy the text, go above, paste it, go back and delete the line character by character.

I mean, not too bad; but I was feeling very bad while seeing it happen.

I use Nano with the CUA keybindings because screw it, modal editors are too slow for me

I really dont care what editor you use, ive never used emacs, nano is disgusting and i really like vim but it could be the exact opposite for you and i wouldnt care.

I've been in camp Vim for decades, but I almost always suggest micro to people dipping their toe into Linux. I can't imagine thinking nano, or whatever, would be more comfortable unless the person has never used a computer before.
