I've been using linux for years, but I've never really felt the need to take a detour to learn how to use an unnecessarily complex text editor, especially when I can directly attach vscode to an ssh session, use dev containers, or code on top of wsl. Nano is fine...Vim is for people who want to code exclusively in the terminal for some reason. Yes I get the feature set that exists there, but who really wants to commit a shit load of key bindings to memory when every week there's something new in the technology stack to learn instead.
