I agree with the article. I think most people who think nano is a "weak" editor simply haven't really used it beyond opening a file, editing a line, and then closing it. I do all my coding in nano, and I'm more than happy. I gave vim a sporting chance, know how to use it reasonably well, and do use it comfortably when editing collaboratively with a vim user. But nano just works, and without having to go through silly mental hoops. And for all the "mental efficiency" talk, in practice 99% of vim users I have interacted with either end up ignoring all the complicated stuff such that vim actively ends up wasting more of their time to do otherwise simple stuff, or manage to shoot themselves on the foot for every other "clever" thing they try to do. The latest release (7 onwards) has also become even more powerful, now that it allows function calling in macros (previously you could only use pre-bound keybindings)
