      WTF. Why? I could maybe see someone preferring emacs over vim, but not nano. Maybe there are nano features I don’t know about, but it just seems like Windows Notepad to me.

      I normally just use VS Code with a VIM extension. Unless I’m ssh-ing into something, then I use vim.

        Well, you kind of got it but also didn’t I guess. If I want to quickly edit a none critial config file or similar a terminal version of Notepad is perfectly fine and for more complex stuff I prefer a GUI anyway.

      it’s funny because as much as I hate gnome desktop, I feel like gnu really does makes the best Linux software. disks utility, nano editor, I’d even argue gnu paint without the ability to undo is more intuitive and superior to most of the closed source commercial stuff of similar purpose you can find out there.

      actually, some of the best looking desktops I’ve seen are heavily customized versions of gnome (pop os, nobara official) so maybe I’m wrong on that too.
