    Nano’s only appeal is that it’s beginner-friendly, but you already know Vim, so why switch?

      Don’t get it neither, vim is hard to start but once you’re a bit familiar with it it’s kind of time saving imo

      I’m not even close to master it (just basics editing) and still find it quite better

        Because if there’s something that Nano does better than Vim, I’d love to know what it is so I can make use of it

        Nano fits their workflow better than vim. Same for me.

        What’s your workflow?

          What nano does better: being more user friendly and showing you the most common actions in the bottom part of the editor. A tool to do quick edits without needing to learn specific keystrokes for everything you want to do.

            @GreenMario@lemm.ee already knows Vim, though:

            Used to use vim for ssh related stuff

            That’s why I asked:

            Nano’s only appeal is that it’s beginner-friendly, but you already know Vim, so why switch?

            Why would someone switch to a more user-friendly editor when they’re already used to their current editor?

            What does user-friendliness have to do with workflow?
