I'm using nano all the time because I used to it and it's easy, never tried vim to be honest.

Vim is actually a very powerful command line editor. I have it in all my VPSes and now I still love using it.

To write and save, you need to exit the insert node first, and then type:

Code:
:wq!

This will write and save everything, and also quit vim.

no pain in pressing wrong hotkeys
