If I were helping a newcomer to Linux, and pointed them toward nano, I'd include explaining what ^ means in that context. How much explaining do you need to give a newcomer to get them up and walking (running comes later) with vi/vim?

I can't understand the "missionary zeal" that some people bring into the field for Nano. It is more a question of knowledge and, above all, of requirements for the editor. Nano as default for Workstation may have some merit, but as default for server it makes more sense to use vim.
I'm not saying that everybody should switch to nano,
+1

But some of the discussion involves to make nano default for all Fedora editions and to refuse to allow differences.


I've never found it hard to make nano my default editor; it just takes setting the proper environment strings in ~./bashrc.
