In my experience, the DEB distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, ...) usually have nano by default, whereas the RPM ones (RHEL, CentOS, Oracle Linux, ...) don't.
That said, i immensely enjoy how small the install size for nano is and how there's no actual work that you need to do to get started with it (unless you need/want customization, like the author of the original article).
- snowwrestler 5y agoWhen I first started working in Linux, it was in Centos and RHEL and I used nano, since it was already installed and easier to understand than vim. That was about a decade ago though, maybe RHEL has removed nano since then.

I should check to see how it is these days, but I stopped using it when webdev made many pages unusable in it.
