I imagine that the intention of micro is more like a modern, extensible editor, rather than a beginner friendly or ubiquitous editor. I think in the latter aspects, nano is still probably what you'd want to recommend your students (until they're ready for vim /s). micro is probably more for people who learned using nano but need more functionality/want a nicer ui.
- indymike 3y agoOur team uses micro as the standard quick and dirty text editor, and we really like it. Micro uses familiar key bindings, which really helps. The name kid of tells the story on functionality Nano < Micro < vim or Emacs. I do thing Micro is a fantastic option for students mainly because they already have the key bindings drilled into their heads.
