I've not used nano. I had to work on a busybox based embedded system for a while that had only a 
minimal implementation of vi and to be honest it's the best thing I ever learned, as it's *always* 
there no matter the system.

So do I these days. Could never get the hang of gvim. I *used* to use nedit and I still think it's 
great. I only switched to gedit as all my user type machines these days run Ubuntu instead of Debian 
with WindowMaker (Which I used exclusively until I tried Ubuntu 6.06). I'm slowly getting used to Gnome.

Honestly, if you start with vim and get used to the majority of the keystrokes then if you ever have 
to move to a pure vi system it's a lot easier. And if you do much dabbling with any system other 
than your own it will pay off big time quickly.
