Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Nano just feels sluggish as soon as you know vim keybindings. Emacs is a bit overkill for some quck edits, but nano is just to basic
Nano is a fantastic default editor for gui-focused distros. If you aren't a command line wizard, nano is a better default because it's a lot more straightforward.
That said, nano is incredibly limited and if you have any experience with vi/vim/nvim, it's the best solution full stop. It's so much faster and more powerful but hot damn is it unintuitive for noobs.
As a nanoite who couldn't be bothered to learn editor commands, I switched to turbo, which is essentially a linux port of the DOS text editor
Huh, interesting!
