You know what nano's good for? Editing a few lines of a config file every now and then.
For that purpose, it's great, works a peach, and is as at least as good as every other option if not better.
And that's what 99% of people use it for, because that's what 99% of people need in a terminal based text editor. Those people don't tend to participate in these sorts of discussions because, well, they're probably still trying to figire out how to exit vim after someone told them vim was better than nano.
