      That’s cool, and I can’t wait for it to gain widespread adoption, but nano is already more commonly installed by default.

          Nano has had syntax highlighting for quite a while.

          Its keybindings also make sense if your brain is still stuck in the '90s. If not, they’re literally printed at the bottom of the terminal.

          If I need plugins, I’m not gonna be fucking around with a terminal text editor.

          What are these “other little things?” Certainly not “probably already installed on your system.”

      “Sane” keybindings are questionable given Ctrl’s location (painful to press with both pinky and thumb fingers). It’s standard, I’ll give it that, but those in helix or vim are mostly (I’m looking at you, navigation between splits) much saner all things considered
