First I'll say this is one of those theological type discussions. But since I am sitting in a place swamped by rain and some hail, why not?
I think nano is great if you don't use CLI much since you can figure it out fast. To me vim is better if you use CLI all the time and edit a lot. Just the number of syntax highlighters is worth the effort. Very quick to do a great amount of editing as others mentioned. But again, if all you do is get in and change one little thing, go nano.
