Nano is the MS notepad of Linux. No more, no less. You don't have the initial cost of learning vim with nano but in the end you're working more. I really don't understand how people can be productive without things like complex regexps, global commands, piping from the editor, etc.

Learning the basics of vim makes setting up a Linux system a lot easier. That's all I'm saying. You don't need to learn regexes or anything like that.

I totally agree. The point is that learning the more advanced features will pay off in the future.
