I was introduced to Linux with Vim so it's actually Nano that confuses me...

The good thing about nano is that it has clear instructions for how to close it right there immediately in front of you

Not if aren't familiar with control characters. Might was well be three seashells...

Same, every new system that defaults to nano and throws me in here when I'm expecting vim I have to stop and remember what the characters mean right before changing it to use vim (like, seriously, I typed "visudo", not "nanosudo", why the hell would I expect it to open in anything other than vi or vim?)

I've always been using nano, but since I refused to ever read the docs, I'm still confused

I was using a distro for a sbc recently and nano was the default visudo editor. Infuriating
