I've never understood people arguing about terminal text editors like nano and vim. Why not just use a GUI text editor like gedit?

I'm not the most Linux savvy but when I ssh onto a work machine I'll use a terminal editor instead of copying the file onto a local machine, editing the file in a GUI and then overwriting the file on the remote machine

I thought you could just open the file in a GUI without copying it manually, just type

gedit path/to/file.extension

sshing only gives you access to CLI
