I agree with you. And it's funny because people that support the use of nano over vi/vim say "don't talk about personal beliefs" and come to talk about meme's and how vim is hard to our grandmothers :)

Really do we believe that setting nano as a default editor will attract new users to Linux? How many end users in last years use Debian because of the default editor change? A newbie generally does know nothing about vi/vim, cron, git, etc...
