I first ran into nano when I gave Gentoo a try. I had to edit a few config files, so I ran vi... no vi. Emacs? No Emacs. Well, shit, what am I supposed to do? So I went back a bit and read more carefully, apparently there was a thing called nano.
So I ran that. Ew. It was a clone of an old DOS editor of all things. What kind of lunatic had ported that? Anyway I managed to do my edits with it, added normal editors to the system and was on my way.
It was also the last time I used it.

nano is the perfect editor for people who only use editors in the terminal, once in a while to edit a config file.

I don't think it's the perfect editor for anything. They'll have to use vi sooner or later, they might as well learn the basics. Or just use kate.

Use Kate in command line over ssh?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Ssh - X

Then run kate, easy :)

"I hated using it"
"But you have used it, yes?"

Well, yes. But I did wash my hands afterwards.

Do they have a sink in eMacs now?
