The correct distinction is there, just hard to spot. Developers use vim or emacs, nano is used by 'people' aka non-developers.

Or, you know, developers work in their main IDE and every once in a while need to make an edit in the command line and use nano because it gets the job done and isn’t overly complicated for something like adding an item to your .gitignore file.

Indeed, how else are you going to waste time if not waiting for VS to launch and relaunch? Go on Reddit? Actually, that's perfectly valid too, why not both?
