vi is what we used when you were still in diapers

i always use vi since 9 years ago, never try another editor

I think it's down purely to preference only. For example, I originally used only vi for a long time, maybe 2-3 years. Then I worked with someone who was a pico/nano freak, loved it for whatever reasons, so I used that whilst I worked with him. Ever since I've leaned both ways (lol).

However it's important that people learn some vim commands because it's really the "native" editor that you may one day be forced to use... If you don't know how, you're up shit creek I guess.

Lol eLight, surely when the world turns over, we'd have to rely on native editors.

I don't think it's that inconceivable? I mean really, it wouldn't hurt to know how to use it given how widespread it is. A question for all the nano-lovers: How do you edit crontab? Do you have nano set as the default editor, or use vi? Or?

P.S. To use nano with crontab where vi is the default editor or otherwise this works in most cases:

EDITOR=nano && export EDITOR && crontab -e

Nano is easier for me cause it's like windows, pressing the Ctrl button.
