If I were helping a newcomer to Linux, and pointed them toward nano, I'd
include explaining what ^ means in that context. How much explaining do
you need to give a newcomer to get them up and walking (running comes
later) with vi/vim?

refuse to allow differences.
I've never found it hard to make nano my default editor; it just takes
setting the proper environment strings in ~./bashrc.
