Personally I am of the nonanoist denomination. I will curse all the demons of hell when on a new system I type vipw or systemctl edit some.service and I am unexpectedly faced with the demon called nano.

How dare you insult me, the omnipotent god called root, by presenting me with a training tool for novices?!
Fortunately, there are ancient spells that can nullify its powers. ‘I command you: be gone Satan’, I will utter under my breath as I carefully type in the magic incantation to cast it back into the fiery chasm from whence it came:

I exclusively use kate.
If the server doesn’t have a GUI I install KDE first, so it can be administered properly.
