nano is perfectly adequate and that was me until very recently too. But I鈥檓 quite in love with Helix Editor now 馃槉 路 2 years ago

Nothing wrong with nano. It's relatively simple to use and works great for most text editing use. Although I mostly have moved to vim, I still use nano from time to time for quick editing. 路 2 years ago

I used only nano for years and years and still do at times, but I also really like the editor micro... keep being intrigued by Emacs but man.... the learning curve 路 2 years ago

same here! I don't understand why it's such a big deal; or why people make such a fuss about text editors. all that matters is whether or not it suits your needs, y'know? 路 2 years ago

This is very brave of you to admit. Honestly I do like using nano better than vim but I'm still using vim to try and force myself to learn it. 路 2 years ago

I used it for a long time too. Since I started my OpenBSD journey though I've been using vanilla vi exlusively. Though I am considering maybe switching to Neovim due to all the plugins for NLP and git integration etc... Never really treied emacs though (sorry @jo). 路 2 years ago

I do like emacs but apart from all the (useful but) much more complicated hotkeys, I often get disconnected and then i gotta live with thousands of savefiles~ or even #savefiles# 路 2 years ago
