I remember my first dealings with Vim. It was awful. I kept having to hit the X button and reconnect, only to find that nothing saved. I've since switched over to nano and prefer it over any editor in Linux. Easy to use, easy to save. That's how it should be!
- milesvp 9y agoSadly, nano has (had?) the nasty habit of adding invisible characters on save (some combination of \r \n). I once almost got into a fist fight with a coworker over this, until he let me show him that his modifying the config was why some application kept crashing on restart.
- mattbgates 9y agoGood to know miles. I've used VIM, but it is more strict in editing and takes a while to get to know. nano is just a plain editor. I'll keep a lookout for it if something doesn't work.
