Vim user here: Nano is a good text editor, takes a lot less training to pick up and use, and it’s surprisingly capable. If I’m teaching someone how to use the Linux terminal, I’m going to teach them Nano, because they already have enough to learn. Vim is a separate class all its own.
I only use Vim, but I appreciate nano as a choice and don’t even really mind visudo opening nano
I prefer micro over nano. It’s like a middle term
I appreciate nano as a choice. Sure. But if visudo opens in nano and suddenly I have a bunch of “yoi:wq” in my sudoers I’ll be upset.
When visudo opens nano, I get unreasonably angry about it. I typed “visudo”, not “nanosudo”
