Don't forget us nanoites. The clearly superior text editor
I don't do a lot of text editing in terminal, but I used to have to at my last job and I always reached for nano and gave instructions fot nano since it's just pick up and use.
Nano just feels sluggish as soon as you know vim keybindings. Emacs is a bit overkill for some quck edits, but nano is just to basic
By "as soon as you know" you mean "as soon as you have put those bindings to muscle memory". Knowing them isn't really enough.
Well yeah, I'd say the same concept applies to using anything tech related these days. It'd be like if you "knew" where all of the keys on a keyboard layout that you don't normally use are located - you'd still need muscle memory to actually use it efficiently.
