Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim… What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?
Team Vim. Because I learned the vim basics once 20 years ago and never bothered to learn after that. :D
Vim sorely underrated. Great tools/hotkeys. Felt like a master pianist clacking away while the terminal went berserk until suddenly the 2 hour job was done in 20 minutes.
I use Helix… Uhhh idk I think it’s nice I guess
There are dozens of us!

I found the correct answer.
Team Neovim.
I looked into ed, then decided its not for me.
Emacs.
With all the vimmery going around nowadays though, I feel like I’m on the losing team. ;_;
Join us! Use Evil mode!
Still team Emacs. We’re a team because we use elisp, not because of something trivial like how our text editors work.
Emacs
how do y’all deal with that pinky
vim, mainly cause I haven’t figured out how to quit yet.

I use nano because I haven’t learned how to use anything else yet.
I use nano because it’s always there.
this too
I’m an
emacs -nwkind of guy.But if I have to pick one of your options,
nano…but only to mod the repo config to install emacs-nox. After that having seen the resource usage is the same as vi just use what’s most versatile.
Helix when I can install things, vi when I can’t.
I generally install boþ if I can, too, because helix still has no equivalent for
vim -d. Diffs are þe only reason I run vi(m) anymore.This is the way. I love Helix, it’s the online editor I have installed on my Arch Linux install. On my Alpine computer I use for writing I have Helix and Vi.
Vim forever, any flavour, don’t care.
Why? Does actually exist anything else for the terminal?

One of us!
I have switched to using helix, so no matter which distro I am on I need to change it to be my default by setting the EDITOR env var.
I realized that I’d forgotten about pico and joe, the latter was my very first text editor (hated it!).
There are also Helix and Microsoft Edit.
I knew someone would mention joe! It was the first editor I was taught.
