+1 for nano. I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.

I was talking with a sysadmin once who intentionally removed nano and emacs from any system he was granted access to. His explanation was “if they can’t use vim I don’t want them on my machines”

I've been using Vim for years, cause I can't figure out how to close it.

EMACS is a great operating system, it only lacks a good editor.

As a nano user, I fully agree.

In the world of text editors, VIM, specifically NeoVim is the shining light. Standing at the pinnacle of creation at a height that can only be reached by zealous emacs users.

They have a learning curve through. Nano is obviously easier, but it's also just a basic editor.

:x

I ONLY EDIT TEXT BY TOGGLING OUT ASCII CODES ON A ROW OF SWITCHES DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO MY PARALLEL PORT\n

If I have to edit in a terminal: micro

If I need to edit something larger, and want a GUI: Kate

Anything else I flirt with and then drop promptly once I can't find the time to really learn it.

Jesus, why can't people just expose their drives to cosmic radiation and have it switch the bits in the file? So much time wasted writing useless editors.

Just use notepad++ with wine like any normal person do

Really the users of any other editor. We just see you as a bunch of nerds. But you build good stuff

The only editor I need:

Create: printf "TEXT" > FILE

Add: printf "TEXT" >> FILE

No room for mistakes.

Micro users: am i joke to you

(I use VSCode)

Nano, based.

If I use VI or VIM I'm going to have to kill the task because I just tried to exit and uggggghhhh why!?

Just use sed -i like God intended.

We need to :q! this war for good.

Use DE and edit files with graphical editors like a normal human being.

Problem solved.

I prefer micro.

mcedit for life
