If I were helping a newcomer to Linux, and pointed them toward nano, I'd
include explaining what ^ means in that context. How much explaining do you
need to give a newcomer to get them up and walking (running comes later) with
vi/vim?
I can't understand the "missionary zeal" that some people bring into the field
for Nano. It is more a question of knowledge and, above all, of requirements for the
editor. Nano as default for Workstation may have some merit, but as default for server it
makes more sense to use vim.
I'm not saying that everybody should switch to nano,

But some of the discussion involves to make nano default for all Fedora
editions and to refuse to allow differences.
I've never found it hard to make nano my default editor; it just takes setting
the proper environment strings in ~./bashrc.

I've been using nano for a long time. When I first started using Linux I found
vim to be awful. Still do. I admit mostly because I am too lazy to learn it,
especially as nano provides just what I need for the command line.
I don't believe vim is a good choice for new Linux users, so I support making
nano the default EDITOR.
