My first editor was Nano and it's so easy to use and can be found plenty of tutorial. I have never got used to Vi. It's little too complicated to use. Probably because im so used to Nano.

VIM is high-level text editor, but in most of time it's hard to use it, also the way it works is annoying. I use Nano for whatever I'm doing, because I simply like it, and the work is done with ease unlike VIM.

Nano is better because it is easier to use. I don't want to spend time to learn how to use VIM.

I think one of the biggest reasons why Nano is so popular is many started their first vps with CentOS and usually Nano is the editor we use for that Linux OS. Like Maroon said all you have to do is master those CTRL key combos.
