In my recent teaching (Introduction to Linux for a bioinformatics course which is based on but not identical to a Software Carpentry workshop) I have used Atom. The window switching is a problem but it is also an important learning opportunity: where is this file? Compare output of pwd with what you can find in the file browser from nano. This issue of nano keeps coming up - is there a place on Github where we could discuss it?
