> As the name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use in a pinch, but micro also aims to be enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).
Personally, as someone who uses nano a fair bit, this really doesn’t hit many of the reasons why I use it in the first place. It’s much less “standard” and depends on a language that is not readily available on preinstalled on many platforms (like it or not, C is everywhere and comes “for free”). I’m not seeing many additional features compared to nano, either. And a bit of a personal preference: nano’s keybindings sorta match readline/Emacs/Cocoa, so it works a lot better with my muscle memory.
