Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?

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

          I see you and raise straight vi.

          A few years ago I’d say Vim but nowadays it’s Neovim for me.

            I only ever use a terminal based editor for making quick edits of config files, so nano works just fine for me.

              nano but i’m a casual. i can use vi/vim in a pinch, but i’m inefficient. ed and emacs are totally foreign

              i tend to use a graphical text editor like Kate unless there is a specific reason to do it in the terminal

                Team Neovim.

                I looked into ed, then decided its not for me.

                        I found the correct answer.

                        Neovim, configured entirely through nixvim. I always liked neovim, but it’s never been as incredibly stable as now with nixvim.

                        Main/only IDE both in private and at work. Can’t ever go back, muscle memory has ensured that.

                          nano for quick things; emacs for longer typing sessions.

                              Emacs its a so-so operating system (that devours your ssd) with a not do good embedded text editor

                                  Emacs comes with Evil mode, which has vim keybindings, which makes a pretty good text editor.

                                    It works well for me. I love how easily I can adapt it for my needs.

                                  micro for sensible defaults out of the box, and because I don’t like modal editors.

                                    Vim forever, any flavour, don’t care.

                                    Why? Does actually exist anything else for the terminal?

                                        I use nano for quick edits. I don’t know more than the basics of vim, and don’t do a lot of editing on the terminal so I haven’t needed to.

                                            From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                                            Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

                                            Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
