nano is the Fishcer Price's My First Text Editor and you're expected to quickly graduate to something that sucks way more

I know I'm supposed to go that way, but I went the other πŸ™ƒ. I've been using micro and it has been awesome working with my mouse when I want. What is more basic than Fisher Price? A teething set of plastic keys?

I tried to like vim. But nano just works.

Nano is good for quick things and I rather like it. And I've been using VIM for years.
