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

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.
