The key bindings for traditional text editors are awful. Micro uses the same normal key bindings that every GUI has used since 1984. A Unix should ship with an editor that has default key bindings that a normal user can guess how to use. Vi is an inexcusable choice for the default text editor although I understand why it’s popular for aficionados. It should be an advanced user choice, not a hazing rite of passage for newbs. Nano is close but still has the wrong bindings. Micro is actually correct. It’s not my actual daily text editor, but I use it when I just need a simple TUI editor.
