Nano is the only one I use because it’s the only one I know how to use
@butter same here. Vim is too complicated for me.
Same. I still don’t know how to quit vim
If you’re not using ed you’re actually using bloat just fyi.
@Doubleplusgoodman what is ‘ed’?
Go get ed-jucated.
@Doubleplusgoodman Thank you :)
May I suggest: Helix . I used vim for years, but I’ve been enjoying the switch to this.
How does it compare to vim?
Its better, has first-class multi-cursor support, and you don’t need to install any plugins to get it usable. Also has LSP support for pretty much every language. IMO its a true successor to vim, which is so old now its like a leaky roof that needs constant repairs (in the form of plugins).
i’ve been considering trying to start using vim recently, but now i don’t know really, are they too different to learn to use? i’d love to spend time on something i’ll end up using for years hopefully
edit: i received a mod report from this post, i just now found out it’s a 3 year old post, sorry
No probs. They aren’t too difficult to learn.
If using helix or vim, there are internal
tutors that show you everything you need to do. You run through the tutor once or twice, do web searches for things you don’t know how to do, then force yourself to use it for a while. After a few days, everything becomes muscle memory, and you never have to take your hands off the keyboard.
Yes.
I use my right to remain silent upon this question.
Nano is only better in having a lower learning curve, and still being sufficient for most people just wanting to get the job done.
Vim is way more capable and feature rich (especially after you extend with plugins), much more satisfying to use once you get the hang of it, and can be much faster
@cyclohexane true. i never spent the time to learn vim.
my brother in christ, just use whatever you want, get a life 😭
@k_o_t sure :D
You should use what you feel most comfortable with. Also it is not a binary choice. I use vim and vscode and emacs. Vim is already available in all remote systems which is why it is my first choice when I am debugging something. I use vscode as an IDE and emacs as a general purpose editor. Haven’t used nano for ages but it is a nice editor nevertheless.
yes, it is for certain tasks
Which ones? (Sincere question, as I just use Vim for everything.)
For someone who doesn’t have strong vim magic ability (esc !wq vs !q or !w) just adding a few lines to .conf i mean ^x (shift x) enter enter is a bit easier.

you can really get the job done sticking to sed, echo, cat and grep. an even bigger brain solution
@inkwiwtba @anders I prefer nvi personally.
@anders
I’d say both have their strengths, and the better choice really comes down to personal preference and workflow. Nano is great when you want something straightforward without spending ages learning commands, while Vim shines once you become comfortable with its shortcuts and modes. It’s a bit like the difference between jumping into a random Omegle chat for fun and learning how to navigate more complex conversations - you can start simple, but there’s always more to explore as you get familiar with it. Personally, I think it’s worth knowing a little about both so you can choose whatever works best for the situation\!Toto
