    I think nano is good for quick and dirty editing.

    Anything else should be done locally on your development machine with a GUI, then pushed to your server as an update.

      Yeah I love nano. I can use vim a little, enough to make a change and save the output. I can even exit vim!

      But 9 times out of 10 if I need to edit a text file in a terminal window, I’m just making a quick config change - I need the terminal equivalent to notepad, not the terminal equivalent to an IDE.

      Nano is exactly what I need, nothing more and nothing less.
