With the implication that you "save a lot of time" by learning another editor (nano) you are confusing skill ceiling with skill floor. If you want to compare those editors, compare them at the learning level you are presenting them.

The other editors do not involve any learning if you don't learn anything about them, Vim involves a lot of learning if you learn most of its features. However to use Vim in the way you present the other editors, you don't have to learn much at all, arrow keys work, the gui version has window menus for most options.

Want to use Vim without the learning? i to insert, ESC to go back from insertion mode, arrow keys to navigate, there you are, you are basically using Vim at the level that you want people to use other editors.

If I want much more than that I'll have to learn the features and keybindings of the other editors too. Last time I checked the knowledge of how to search, split panes, switch buffers, search and replace etc. wasn't magically inserted into my brain as soon as I open my copy of VSCode or Nano.

> you have to reconfigure basic keybinds like the arrow keys

Since when do arrow keys not work in Vim by default?

Learning all of Vims features vs. learning only the minimum in other editors is not a fair comparison.
