I've found nano really easy to pick up for quick introductions to editing files via a terminal. Nano seems to have a shallow learning curve for new users in comparison to vi, vim emacs as it works similar to other simple text processors. It isn't as powerful as other editors and can't be configured as much but for some, especially beginners, that's a benefit.
