I thought everybody has nano not because it is adequate and usable for them, but because it comes by default with distros, and distro in turn choose nano not because it is particularly popular but is small enough not to matter if left behind unused when the user chooses a real editor. But you are essentially usaying that 80% of Arch users install nano by choice. I find it doubly surprising.
