better ootb experience with syntax highlighting, sane keybindings, plugin system, and other little things nano lacks.

Nano has had syntax highlighting for quite a while.

Its keybindings also make sense if your brain is still stuck in the '90s. If not, they're literally printed at the bottom of the terminal.

If I need plugins, I'm not gonna be fucking around with a terminal text editor.

What are these "other little things?" Certainly not "probably already installed on your system."
