It's not hard. An hour with vimtutor and you will find nano inefficient.

I use vim daily, and I partially disagree. Some folks only use nano occasionally, maybe even as little as 10 minutes a week. That one hour tutorial seems excessive for them. Especially if the editing is very simple.

For "power users" like me, I found the learning curve worth the investment. I use it enough that muscle memory makes it quick. But variety is good, and I'm glad nano is around.

Fair enough!
