I actually don’t use nano though only because it’s not always there. I learned a long time to pick a narrow subset of ubiquitous tools to know really well, compose those and leave it at that. If I’m dumped in single user mode somewhere with no network, or on a system I don’t have the ability to install packages on, a usable vi implementation is always available.
Going back a couple of decades a colleague was stuck on a Solaris box because he needed pico installed and Miss root was off sick. He learned vi that day.
Incidentally I used to embarrassingly suck at vi until I completely hosed a couple of systems.
