I don't spend enough in Linux/BSD* environments and/or editing text to make learning vi/emacs worthwhile, but need a terminal editor for maintaining my remote server. nano is ideal for that role - minimal functionality + shortcuts shown at all times means I don't need to learn anything, but can make any quick edits I need.
* I know both can be used on Windows, but a GUI editor feels like a more natural fit to me in that environment.
- nzp 10y agoNot trying to force either of those on you or anything like that, but just a quick remark: both Vim (although not vi) and Emacs have fully functional GUI “modes” (in fact, I think overwhelming majority of Vim/Emacs users use it in GUI mode). They might not look native in Windows though.
