It's funny because `emacs -Q -nw` loads instantly on my very modest system and supports pretty much everything `nano` does immediately. You can move around with arrows, you can just start typing etc. The one thing it's missing is telling you how to save and close the file etc... Makes me wonder if a nano-style help bar with super-simple key bindings would be a useful default bundle for Emacs. `emacs -Q` seems to load even faster, somehow, and that's the full graphical version if you have a window system.
