ITT we appreciate the best editor out there, GNU nano!
Are you new to GNU nano?
Use this nanorc and put it in /etc/nanorc
github.com/Mark-Weston/nanorc/blob/master/nanorc
Check out me scratching only the surface of amazing GNU nano capabilities:

We can also discuss how other editors are pathetically inferior to GNU nano.

Nano is barely a step above using notepad. Use ed because it's the standard editor.
It's not vim or emacs, ie. it wasn't implemented retarded or by people that can't into reasonable defaults.
Well done, appreciated.
I assume you haven't watched the asciicasts.
>Nano is barely a step above using notepad
No shit. Luckily that's really all you need to fiddle with config files.I don't think it was ever really intended to be used for anything else.
This. Nano is godsend.
>>Nano is barely a step above using notepad
>No shit.
It's not.
Can you browse internet with a notepad?
asciinema.org
No but for that I use curl or wget if I'm feeling adventurous.
What makes this any better than the other terminal web browers like lynx or elinks?
It doesn't.
But it shows that using nano isn't "just barely a step above using notepad".
bloat
It's lighter than both Vim and Emacs.
Alright so it's capable of doing more than notepad. It still pales in comparison what vi and ed are capable of. That's why it still feels like you're on notepad even if it technically can do more than notepad.
OK,you win, Nano can do a handful of impractical crap nobody would ever bother to use a text editor for.
why is nano keybindings so retarded?
>he doesn't use nano-tiny
AHAHAHA
Why isn't this feature more documented? This is a really useful capability.
What can ed do that nano can't?
Can nano be used from a shell script?
Good thread.
>Real work
Use an IDE. Nobody but autistic jobless neckbeard boomers use Vim.
>Config file editing
Use nano. It's nearly everywhere and it just werks.
wait can you use ed like sed? I wish you could, because sed sucks
$ ed file
2480
$-10,$d
*deletes the last 10 lines*
q
$ sed -n '$-10,$d' file
sed: 1: "$-10,$d": invalid command code -
