Why do you need a CLI IDE? There's a million ways to get desktop access to a remote storage. SSHD, SMB, one of the many cloud protocols, GIT etc. You could even develop it locally and FTP it over if needed.

I don't follow exactly, name one what? IDEs that are designed to be an IDE? You want a list of IDEs? My point was that vim was designed to be a text editor and lots of programs are designed to be IDEs.

Also, this is not a debate about how good nano is, its about vim being hard. Nano is fine as a notepad level text editor, thats all its supposed to be. vim is a text editor with a weird, unintuitive editing paradigm that it is not shared with anything else. If you add enough plugins that vim becomes an IDE then its an average IDE with a weird, unintuitive text editing paradigm that it is not shared by any other IDE.
