Yeah, nano is honestly a pretty reasonable option to use as a primary editor nowadays, doesn't have all the fancy bits of emacs or the vi family, but, it has quite a lot of the ones that actually matter.
I'm not sure I'd call it an improvement over vi, but, it's at least a reasonable alternative and easier for a new user to figure out how to do basic things with.
