      Look, some of us old farts started on Linux back before nano was included by default, and your options for text editing on the command line were either:

      1. vi/vim, a perfectly competent text editor with arcane and unintuitive key combos for commands
      2. emacs, a ludicrously overcomplicated kitchen-sink program that had reasonable text-editing functionality wedged in between the universal woodchuck remote control and the birdcall translation system

      Given those options, most of us chose to learn how to key-chord our way around vim, and old habits die hard.
