Maybe, but you lose a lot of very powerful functionality. And instead you are supposed to decipher (and memorize) cryptic character combinations that desperately try to imitate a graphical interface.

No. All commands in nano are single strokes, using the control key, so that ^K is cut text, ^U is paste text and ^G gets you help by listing the entire set of commands.No need to memorize anything because the most common commands are listed on the last two lines of the screen. That's what I like about nano: even if you haven't used it in over a year, you don't have to worry about remembering which command is which. Instead of just rejecting it, why don't you open it up on an empty file and play with it a little? If nothing else, it's more than adequate for whatever text editing you'd need in an emergency.
