yeah Vim takes a lot of effort to learn. Like any advanced tool. I will 100% always fire up nano when in a hurry. but i like trying to learn Vim as an exercise (in torture? idk haha)
When I first installed a distribution where the base system only came with nano instead of standard editors, I was very confused (and very disappointed that this whas what they’d come up with as a “friendly” interface).
wow, nano is usually everyone’s first editor and them moving on to Vim. interesting to invert that. what do you like about nano?
Ease of use. When it comes to coding I prefer a GUI as well.
I used Vim when I first installed Linux. It was painful but I used it. I found Nano and I stopped using Vim. No comparison in usability.

That depends a lot on when they started.
