I'm also a huge fan of nano, no it's not as powerful as emacs, but I don't need that much power in my text editor frankly.

- morganvachon 6y agoAs a non-coder I also find nano to be more than enough for 99.9% of my needs at the terminal. It's the first thing I install on a fresh OpenBSD (though sysupgrade(8) has likely made reinstalling that OS moot), and it's my goto for any non-Windows system I maintain. Back in the early 2000s before I found nano, I used JOE on Slackware and loved it. I discovered nano and learned it, and now if I try to use JOE I find myself turning on its "pico mode" to get back to now-familiar commands.
- Aloha 6y agoI agree totally
- fomine3 6y agoI'm very surprised when I realized that nano hadn't support undo/redo until recently (undo Enabled by default around 2016).
