nano, or the new feature? I use nano all the time.

Why do you use nano?

It's simple, it's on every platform I ever SSH into, and it gets the job done quickly?

I use it in a pinch fairly constantly. Despite being a heavily customized Emacs user all the rest of the time. Mostly when I'm already scouring around the shell poking at files or need to make a simple new one (like a .gitignore) and I don't want/need to perturb whatever else I'm doing in Emacs.

Is anyone using this thing?

All the time.

I could use vi/vim, but I'm just too lazy to teach myself or use "vimtutor" to actually learn how to use it. I know just enough to open/modify/save/exit, which I think is just good enough for a quick edits.
