I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

But you can do all that with nano and it is straight forward and you don't need to memorize any key combinations. I mean, I get it and no judgement here. I just use nano because it's easy and quick.
I think if you just need to edit a config file once in a while, nano is great, but if you’re writing substantial amounts of code, you’ll find vim a lot more capable.
As long as you’re not a filthy emacs user, we can get along
I write my code in an actual IDE. And I use nano for only, like you said, config files and those little things. And I have never used emacs and I don't even know how it looks like. I'm dead serious, I don't even know what emacs is or what it does. lmao
Emacs is basically a lisp interpreter packaged with a suite of "example" utilities, like a text editor. It's one of the two historical editors used as terminal IDEs, along with vim. Emacs tends to take a more batteries, kitchen sink, web browser, games, IRC client, etc-included approach. It can seriously be closer to an OS in functionality.
You can also copy paste by manually copying text by hand, would call that a valid alternative to Ctrl-C/V?
