I'm probably in the minority but I think it's fantastic! No extra baggage, super quick to work with, and it does syntax highlighting pretty well!

Nah man, I'm with you, nano is no nonsense get shit done editor. It might not have advanced features but I'm not an advanced man.

I also love it. It was my go-to back when I had to walk inexperienced sysadmins through configuring stuff, in my tech support days. I really appreciate all the commands being listed at the bottom.

It's also self explanatory, which is great if you're new.

Ed and Vim are basically arcane by comparison.

Sure, but learning the very basics of vi/m (and by that I just mean navigation, selection, cutting, and word jumps like e and b), you'll immediately run circles around anyone using nano

And by learning nano you'll run circles around everyone who struggles to remember how to fuck exit vi/m.

Bloat! Who needs an editor 1000 times the size of their previous one?
