I wholeheartedly agreee. Nano is quite awesome, it is battle-tested and already has more features than needed for a basic text editor. Actually, Nano is too often frowned upon as too-basic, but is actually has a few advanced features that basic editors do not have (e.g., keyboard macros). I'd argue that Nano is simple rather than basic :).
