No it isn't, it respect's ctrl+c, SIGINT and gives useful feedback for new users. Many shortcuts are immediately shown on screen.
If you open vim the first thing you will see it's a text describing how to close it. Not saying other things are easier for a new user but closing is pretty simple. EDIT: if press ctrl - c vim will show you what you should press instead![](https://iusearchlinux.fyi/pictrs/image/5c9d7bc9-fdc7-4ea0-9eee-c9554a7566d6.png)
And the whole time you have nano open it shows you all the shortcuts how to save and close at the bottom, so no, closing nano is not harder.![](https://iusearchlinux.fyi/pictrs/image/e999c1b2-934c-47b5-9ecb-e3fd5acaf7db.png)
Unless you don't know that ^ means Ctrl ๐ฅฒ
Then you press ctrl+g for help and it tells you:
:D
Actually TIL about pressing esc twice.
Why would you press CTRL+G if you didn't know that ^ was CTRL?
Look at the screenshot I posted, it actually specifies "ctrl + g" for help.
I'd argue closing vim is still easier. You just have to hold down the power button long enough.
stop making sense its annoying
I had to look up the upside down V meant Ctrl, which makes sense to me now that I know, but I had to Google that.
It's called a caret
Or you could look on the bar above the shortcuts that explicitly says Ctrl+G = help
