Gracias por el aporte Henry.

Hola Matias.
No es fácil lo que pides, ten en cuenta que cada mes y medio (aproximadamente) lanzan una nueva versión, y las mejoras notables son apenas tres o cuatro, el resto son pequeños detalles y bugs.

Mi opinión personal sobre nano?, es que es el editor más versátil que hay, no tiene mucho que envidiar a los grandes, y tampoco se queda cojo en nada. Ademas tiene un punto fuerte que otros como Vi/Vim no tienen (ojo, soy usuario de Vim), es valido para todo y para todos, y al decir todos me refiero a que su curva de aprendizaje es muy rápida, inclusive para los recién llegados a linux, y eso es primordial. Como siempre digo… si queremos promocionar linux debemos facilitar su acceso y uso, no dificultarlo.
Un saludo.
