You could have learned enough vim to be usable in the time it took to write that comment.

How to quit Vim and install Sublime Text?

Restart the computer

Silly you... It's Ctrl+Z

You can try Ctrl+C. Vim will of course not exit but display instructions about how to exit.

Agreed. Nano use is somewhat of a red flag to me.

It’s SO inefficient in comparison to Vim, VSCode, or tons of other alternatives.

If it’s the only thing on the box, fine, but in reality usually Vim is the only editor installed.

I initially thought you were speaking of CPU/ram efficiency until you threw in vscode, so I think you mean developer efficiency. Vi/vim is what you're accustomed to. I've worked with nano since it came out, I think 2004-5ish. I have no idea what I used prior to that, probably vi.

But I am MUCH faster and more efficient with nano than I am vi/vim/emacs. My text editor of choice is like my IDE of choice, it shouldn't be a problem at all for anyone to just accept that I'm getting my work done in a different application.

I'm more in the Vim camp myself, but suspect that those who use nano for longer programming sessions do so using a well-crafted nanorc. Nano does support some "modern" features like syntax highlighting, it's turned just off by default. (As far as I know, you won't be getting stuff like LSP and multiple cursors though.)

Can I? I opened https://www.vim.org/docs.php but something bad happened to it and it displays in microscopic font for me.

I don't know how much you actually care, and I'm the nano OP of this comment chain/thread but there are some vims (and emacs) with plugins and what not built in. Only one I can think of off the top of my head is https://spacevim.org/ but theres a bunch.

If you are interested they might give you a good start.
