    You meant sudo vim, ok?

      Do people really war over nano vs vi?

      I get the vi vs emacs war, but are people really willing to die on a hill over nano?

        Not willing to die over this comment. Hear me out for a second. I recognize how powerful vi (is it neovim these days?) is. But I could never play games with those awful hjkl keys for navigation, I hate them. Also, I don’t have to memorize nano. All the key combos are listed on the bottom. So it requires less mental load.

        We have nano on our servers, but not vim

          That’s crazy.

          Isn’t vi installed by default on most *nix distros?
