I much prefer nano, as it’s intuitive, so I don’t have to think to use it. If I forget what a command is, it’s at the bottom of the screen. With vim, I have the remember “wait, how do I get into editing mode? And if I want to save a file, how do I do that again? Crap. Better Google a tutorial.”
Sure, if I used it more, it would become second nature, but I don’t, so as more of an admin (and less of a developer) that doesn’t spend lots of time in console editors, nano is nice.
Having said that, I don’t see the need to include it. Whenever I install a new system, I run a pakfire command to install nano, ncftp, telnet (for administering old Cisco IP phones), wlanap, and I forget what else. No big whoop, and how often does one install a new system?

Hello,
We have (or had) a couple of editors and I am quite against shipping them all.
Everyone has their favourites, and there will always be another one.
What is wrong with vim?

All,
Is it possible to move `nano` from addon to core? It is SOOOOO much easier to use than vim.
I understand it is an easy installed addon but it seems like it really belongs in "core".
