+1 for nano. I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.

Ehh, that's fine. I'm not too psyched about living in whatever comes afterward.

I was talking with a sysadmin once who intentionally removed nano and emacs from any system he was granted access to. His explanation was “if they can’t use vim I don’t want them on my machines”
There's a sysadmin at my place who does exactly that. He's kind of an idiot too.
Shocked

If a sysadmin expected me to use vim for every minor config tweak, I wouldn't want to be on their machines either.
I find vim quicker and easier for quick edits too, mostly because I've not bothered to learn anything but vim since it's on everything (except, for some odd reason, the default build of Gentoo)

I've been using Vim for years, cause I can't figure out how to close it.
You came because it looked exciting...
You stayed because you couldn't leave.

As a nano user, I fully agree.
In the world of text editors, VIM, specifically NeoVim is the shining light. Standing at the pinnacle of creation at a height that can only be reached by zealous emacs users.
They have a learning curve through. Nano is obviously easier, but it's also just a basic editor.

If I have to edit in a terminal: micro
If I need to edit something larger, and want a GUI: Kate
Anything else I flirt with and then drop promptly once I can't find the time to really learn it.
Jesus, why can't people just expose their drives to cosmic radiation and have it switch the bits in the file? So much time wasted writing useless editors.

Really the users of any other editor. We just see you as a bunch of nerds. But you build good stuff
The only editor I need:
Create: printf "TEXT" > FILE
Add: printf "TEXT" >> FILE
No room for mistakes.

Just use sed -i like God intended.
Oh, vim. I wish I knew how to quit you.
: q !
unless you accidentally pressed "q" to early and entered recording-mode...

Nano, based.
If I use VI or VIM I'm going to have to kill the task because I just tried to exit and uggggghhhh why!?

I recently worked on a system that had the TERM variable botched and filtered and no nano, just vim. It was all hell. The escape sequences in vim wouldn't work. I ended up suspendig it with ctrl+z, killing it, then editing the config with fucking ed and sed. That hoster sucks.

Use DE and edit files with graphical editors like a normal human being.
Problem solved.
