Right, Nano versus Vim, the eternal text editor battle rages on. Isn't choice grand, though? Some claim Nano's simplicity is its strength. Others swear by Vim's powerful, albeit daunting, command set. I'd say it's down to preference and what you need it for. Remember that time I was struggling with a server config file and spent way too long navigating it in Nano, wishing I knew Vim better? I felt like I was navigating a really steep learning Slope Game, and the server just kept crashing. The situation was absolutely similar to this Nano vs Vim conundrum.
