Nah... vim users fight emacs users, but not nano users. Wrong league. We do not beat little children ;)

I once fixed my bashrc file with libreoffice

nano friends rise up!

Vim is pretty easy for me because I'm used to it. Nano is very difficult to use for me because I've rarely used it.

Sometimes you don't even have the luxury of nano. Any moderately advanced Linux user should probably learn the basics of vi. Just knowing how to insert text and save it can fix a system that's stuck in recovery. Even if it's just to add a comment in front of a line in a config file.

I’ve come to the conclusion, people who use vim just continue to do so out of a stubborn sense of pride for finally learning the key combinations.

You noobs. I just use combinations of cat piped to sed to edit my files, which are mainly lisp code.

Vim (or emacs, or any other advanced text editor) is much easier to use than nano when you need to do something more complex than type couple of lines.

Average vim user: vim is easy.

Also average vim user: literally hours of reading tutorial pages on how to use vim.

I'll say that I find easier to exit vim that to exit nano.

I don't know what ^ means. I just start pressing special keys until it doesn't the thing

The best text editor is ‘$EDITOR’.

I started on Unix systems using Vim, so I find Nano to be the confusing editor. A Vim install is one of the first things I do on a new server.

In every post of this kind I am amazed at so many people using nano instead of micro which is SO MUCH BETTER while being the same thing at the same time.
