Because if there’s something that Nano does better than Vim, I’d love to know what it is so I can make use of it
What nano does better: being more user friendly and showing you the most common actions in the bottom part of the editor. A tool to do quick edits without needing to learn specific keystrokes for everything you want to do.
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 😂 or better yet an IDE.

What’s your workflow?

@GreenMario@lemm.ee already knows Vim, though:
That’s why I asked:
Why would someone switch to a more user-friendly editor when they’re already used to their current editor?
What does user-friendliness have to do with workflow?
