I’ve known some fantastic developers that used Nano as their primary editor. It supports syntax highlighting, linting, and bracket matching (jumping to the matching opening bracket when a closing one is selected, and vice versa), which is enough for some people.
Sure, it’s no micro, but it’s already installed practically everywhere.
I have an alias to run nano with command-line flags to customize it for plain text note taking. I remove all the fluff and the status and shortcut lines from the editor so it’s just a text field. Micro is my choice for editing remote code over SSH when I don’t want to push a local file.
