If a sysadmin expected me to use vim for every minor config tweak, I wouldn't want to be on their machines either.
Sounds like it works then.
Win:win ;)
I find vim quicker and easier for quick edits too, mostly because I've not bothered to learn anything but vim since it's on everything (except, for some odd reason, the default build of Gentoo)
Once you get the hang of it it's just so much quicker for small and big tasks.
Check out vim adventures:

Or just install vimtutor and try around. The basics are pretty simple, and the more advanced stuff infinitely helpful.
Thanks, no. At that point i use sed, grep or a GUI editor.
Why? Nano doesn't need training, and even for config the engineers shouldnt be able to impact production without review. Sysadmin needs to retire
I don't find nano any easier for minor tweaks than vim
A vim user finding nano too difficult? Impressive.
