nano just works for me man

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Getting used to vim has made nano unusable for me. The muscle memory is too strong. That and all of the regex and plugin features (ex. LSP) are just too useful.

I had the same experience. Nano is great if you’re used to notepad or a generic, limited text editor.

Once you learn a terminal editor like eMacs or vim, why go back? So much less hand motion going to mouse, arrows, and back.

I liked Micro just a little bit more than Nano

I tried Micro and I found that its just Nano with a better interface and much easier to use. Its great actually but I like the vim movements.
