I'm one of those nano weirdos. I mean, I get why people use vi/vim, but I'm a lazy man who has the nano shortcuts hardwired into my muscle memory. It's definitely not as full-featured as vim, but it does what I need it to do quickly and easily. If I need to just quickly drop into a file and do a find/replace, takes me maybe 3 seconds.

Also, to share an ancient joke from the dawn of computing: emacs is a great OS, I just hope someone makes a decent text editor for it eventually.
