Just say "nano is Linus Torvald's editor of choice" (which is true and will instantly shut down the debate)

He said he might switch to nano. It's not currently his editor of choice (unless there's something more recent). If I recall correctly he has been using uEmacs/PK (https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs).

> I really need to switch over to something that is actually maintained and does utf-8 properly. Probably 'nano'.

Ah, my mistake, you are right. Still a heck of an endorsement coming from him.
