Looks interesting. I'll probably keep using nano, as it is usually installed by default and my needs are minimal. The single binary without dependencies should certainly make adoption easier.

I feel like being preinstalled is really the most difficult hurdle for a lot of these tools to clear. Its the reason most scripts are written in sh/bash. You don't want to give your users another dependency, so you use what everyone has installed anyways.
