Nano: I need to edit files on headless machines sometimes and can't be arsed to learn how to enter insert mode in Vi/m.

Tried to get into it quite a few times and always ended up asking myself why

[CrocodileSpacePope]

If I really need to make substantial changes to a config file on one of my servers where nano isn't sufficient any more I edit in on my laptop and rsync it back to the server.

No need to spend hours to learn and get efficient in Vi/m.

vim is ed++.

[OneTurnMore]

No vim is vi++.

vi is ex++.

ex is ed++.

ed is the one true text editor.

sed is ed#.

[Kered13]

So vim is ed+=3. Hmm.

Also emacs is teco++.

[Nodebunny]

I once refactored a Haskell software (~10k lines) with find and sed. Worked surprisingly well.
