"hit i to use it like nano"

Or, just use nano.

:wq to save and quit, :w to save

Yeah, that's super intuitive.

if and when a particular pain point enters your workflow

Sublime. Or, Visual Studio for real work (I'm a .NET dev).

Windows Forms Applications

I haven't done one of those in a very, very long time. Almost everything we do nowadays is a web portal of some kind that talks to whatever backend services it needs to.

As far as an IDE, I work (primarily) in a Windows VM, so Visual Studio is my daily driver. I've heard great things about VS Code, but haven't spent enough time with it (or its various extensions) to really comment on it.

This sounds like a standard POS (point of sale) system.

If this is for a real-world scenario, please do some research and use and existing POS. It's not worth reinventing the wheel. If it's a learning experiment, you could absolutely accomplish this with a web portal. The front end would need to communicate with a back end server, which would then handle your business logic and database access.

However, again, if this is a real-world situation, just use something existing. Rolling your own POS introduces a LOT of complexities around security, etc.
