      I’ve been using nano for 10+ years. Found micro and it is superior. Had to alias nano so that it opens micro instead, though. Hard to break such habits.

          I could see that if you’re more skilled at something like vim.

            Ok i think i overeacted. I couldn’t figure out how to exit it, so i assumed it was like vim. Needed to exit Termux manually (which i hate) but the ctrl+s & q is easy. Will consider it another option to remember like moving from cat to bat

              Ah, gotcha. Yeah the keybindings are very sensible especially for people coming from Windows. I do think it’s better than Nano for newcomers.

      I’m surprised there aren’t more distros that come packaged with it. If someone’s used a graphical text editor in the past decade, then they know how to use micro. The only distro I know of that has it by default is Garuda.
