I was about to say, I use nano regularly, both locally and over ssh (to machines which have it installed, which is pretty much all of them). This looks nice and I love old-style console UIs, I fondly remember EDIT.COM and NC.EXE, and still use `mc` regularly with one pane pointing at a sshfs.

Ages ago I had to maintain a .BAT file, editing in EDIT.COM, that threw stuff at EDLIN.COM (roughly MS version of `ed`). Those where the ... not-so-good old days.

These days, with windows versions of `nano` and `busybox` you have some power tools without a full linux install.
