I'm a developer who has written, amongst other things, Fedora's implementation of pkg-config, the IRC software powering the IRC network Fedora uses to coordinate its efforts, various patches to software shipping in Fedora. I use nano to write these programs. I use nano, quite happily, as my editor of choice since it was first released. Before that, I used pico and FreeBSD's ee editor. I suspect many new developers are using graphical editors such as VS Code and gedit. Using vi or emacs does not imply any sense of development skill or authority -- if you like those editors, that is your choice, but that does not mean that they are a sensible choice for users new to the system who did not originally learn with them. I learned how to program using Borland TurboC on MS-DOS back in the 90s, and nano is a much closer match to that workflow than a modal editor such as vim, which is why I happily use nano.
