This is what i use vim for. Vim doesn't necessarily have to be a full blown ide with 30 plugins

Vim does not just work if you don't know how to get into edit mode and save and quit from there. Nano even has built in search and replace.

Funny story, when i first got into linux (almost a decade ago), I accidentally opened nano pasting some random command off the internet and didn't know how to close it because I didn't know what the ^ symbol meant.

I had successfully been quiting (and using) vim for a few months at this point.
