Nano has already supplanted the great EMacs and Vim as the most popular text editor of all linux distros, for though it has many omissions in functionality it scores over the older, more complete programs in two important respects.

Not long ago, I needed to quickly add a 4-line thing to my Ruby on Rails app on my Raspberry Pi. I was like, shit, I really can’t be arsed to mount the RPi over Samba to edit this stuff on VSCode on my Windows laptop to add like 4 lines. I don’t have vim, I can’t be arsed to check which vimlike I have at hand, I can’t be arsed to see if my Emacs setup has been customised for this RPi. So fuck it, Nano it is!
