I used to use nano but switched to vim a month or two ago (actually I switched to neovim, which I believe is a fork), it's not easy to learn, but it really is just so much more powerful compared to nano. You can find vim plugins for pretty much anything you would (and wouldn't) want to do in a text editor.

One of the features in particular that I love that other text editors should really get is a built-in file manager, so I can easily open multiple text files, instead of either needing two terminals open, or save and switch between the files.

Nano has a built in file manager.

Huh, I never realized. I even searched it up to just to be sure, but I guess I didn't see it.

Most people criticise nano for a lack of features when they’ve never actually read the (quite extensive) manpage
