Nano is wonderful for non-programmers or for editing small configuration txt files, but not for proper coding. If you want to give something more advanced a try, Emacs has a nice tutorial that can be accessed from the main menu after installing, because it is a bit tricky to start using

I quite like nano. It seems simple and pretty much does what I want. Although I'd be willing to try something else, if someone can convince me of the error of my ways. Which one is best for coding?
