As someone who used nano in the late 90s, it makes me nervous. I recall that you had to be careful to always use "nano -w" otherwise it would silently corrupt long lines, breaking configuration files which use one entry per line (like crontabs). Since then, I have always removed nano from every system I touch, to prevent accidents.
