I usually just symlink vi and vim to nano. Never had problems with it.
 

Year of using vi have made me ok with it. For small jobs.
For bigger jobs I either use s GUI editor or joe.
Geany is my coding app of choice.

For me, it's vi(m) or nothing.

I used to use microEmacs, but I found regular emacs too knuckle-busting.

My partial list of must-haves:

    -   Fluxbox window manager (and Xfce4 for its tools/managers)
    -   xbindkeys
    -   tmux
    -   mpd, mpc (for automation), and ncmpcpp
    -   GCC and Clang, autotools, libtool, gdb and cgdb
    -   git
    -   conky
    -   urxvt
    -   texlive, latexmk for project documentation
    -   JACK, a2jmidid
    -   alsamixer
    -   nm-applet, NetworkManager
    -   ssh client and server
    -   cups
    -   cheese and guvcview
    -   LibreOffice (for letters, shopping lists, and tables)

There's a bunch of others I forget about, and have to install when I try to use
them.....
