Once you're comfortable with (neo)vim, is there any reason to use nano?

[–] artwork@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

NeoVim is a miracle, but is utterly rarely installed on machines, and especially on servers. Same as Micro.
Nano is frequently pre-installed, sometimes even with syntax highlihgting at /usr/share, more comfortable than standard Vim in general, I believe.
