I'd praise vim as a 15+year vim user, but people crap on nano without even knowing the shortcuts it provides (cut/paste/move rows, justify a block of text, etc.) which are very useful when remote editing configuration files. Never in my life have I remotely opened a config with nano and thought to myself "oh damn I wish it was vi".

Adding to the pile of anecdata: I wish this every time I forget that our vagrants spin up without `EDITOR` or `VISUAL` configured which means I get nano for my first edit and, frankly, fuck that noise.
