    I guess old habits die hard. After using nano for so long, vim frustrates me. I recognize it as superior, it’s just something I never really pursued. Plus I use MobaXTerm which bridges the gap in that it has built in editors that would be more in line with Vim.

      I get the vim frustration. The first Linux distro I used shipped with a broken x-server and vi(m) (late 90s) as the editor, so it was definitely jumping in with both feet. It was Vim or Emacs, and Emacs seemed like more than I was willing to take on at the time. It’s kind of annoying how much other editors frustrate me now. I know a lot of people are OK with nano, or whatever editor, but every time I find myself not using vim to edit these days it freaking kills me.
