I started with nano and I hated it, I didn't understand what anything meant in the bottom bar, like what is ^X. Unironically vim was easier to understand. I know what it is now but as a new user I didn't like using it.

Micro is Nano but the commands make sense. It's so nice.
It even prompts you for a sudo password when you try to save but don't have permission.
