If you open vim the first thing you will see it’s a text describing how to close it. Not saying other things are easier for a new user but closing is pretty simple.
Shortcuts are written as follows: Control-key sequences are notated with
a ‘^’ and can be entered either by using the Ctrl key or pressing the Esc
key twice.
No it isn’t, it respect’s ctrl+c, SIGINT and gives useful feedback for new users. Many shortcuts are immediately shown on screen.

And the whole time you have nano open it shows you all the shortcuts how to save and close at the bottom, so no, closing nano is not harder.
I had to look up the upside down V meant Ctrl, which makes sense to me now that I know, but I had to Google that.
It’s called a caret
Or you could look on the bar above the shortcuts that explicitly says Ctrl+G = help
stop making sense its annoying
Unless you don’t know that ^ means Ctrl 🥲
Then you press ctrl+g for help and it tells you:
:D
Actually TIL about pressing esc twice.
Why would you press CTRL+G if you didn’t know that ^ was CTRL?
Look at the screenshot I posted, it actually specifies “ctrl + g” for help.
