If you're going to recommend a command-line text editor to a newbie, I would recommend nano over vi/vim any day! At least with nano you can easily figure out how to type a few changes and exit, but with vi/vim you have to learn how to think upside down with rags stuffed up your nose, and then you have to memorize 100 commands! Every time I accidentally run vim I have to figure out how to open the tutorial so I can figure out how to exit the thing without killing the terminal. Then I forget the commands before I run it next time :-) Enough of that rant though... The easiest editor for most people will probably just be gedit aka "Text Editor" in the Accessories menu.
