My requirements for a text editor:

  • it displays 'A' when I press the 'A' key
  • doesn't require more than 1 minute of learning to use it

Bonus points if it comes pre installed.

    Idk it took me 3 attempts to learn (neo)vim, but now every Linux system I SSH in I just go straight for vi(m), because moving around and editing in Nano is just so slow when you're used to vim keys.

    I swear I'm not trying to proselytize. People should use whatever they want, and these discussions are pointless. It's all just tradeoffs and getting used to things.
