I barely know Vim compared to a seasoned programmer. I can open copy save and input mode just fine. All I use it for is fucking with config files and light scripting really.

I did start with vim tho because I didn't know about nano and when I did it was bare bones. Today it has syntax highlights so that's a great thing.

I keep vim around though but nano is way better than it was when Ubuntu first came out so shouldn't be slept on. If you're gonna do actual programming yes pls use vim I beg you ๐Ÿ˜‚ or better yet an IDE.
