Yay! The editor war has started!  ;-p

But seriously, I primarily use vi. Using the keys is really fast, and as
with any browser, once you have the shortcuts down, it's easy...

cut (yy), paste (p), search and replace (:%s//), switching files (:n :N
:w, etc.), it's all quite easy and fast...

But neither nano nor vi are Windows GUI editors, which Wordpad is...   :-D
