Just need to port nano to be an extension for emacs....
All pun aside, speaking of emacs, not to long ago we were talking about
using IDE's vs text editors for coding. The Wikipedia page on emacs
talks about using it as an IDE[1]. If you check out the editor war
page[2] on Wikipedia, in section regarding current state of the war[3].
It mentions that many advanced programmers use either Emacs, vi or other
offshoots, which includes Linus Torvalds.
