I think comfortability comes w/ the easy to use / common (well known
beforetimes) keys -- for nano it is written at the bottom, it is true,
but in a disaster and may nervous circumstances -- it is strains a lot
-- to see every time i need, say, to save a file -- w/ its no need
questions: are you sure? what's the name -- though file is opened and
the name is well known. -- For copy/paste procedure, to mark the text
for selection -- i even keep quite -- never got the procedures happen.

On another hand, MCedit uses just F3 key and the cursor keys -- what
can be easier to go to and fro -- for selecting?! -- One key for
cope/move the text! One key for: point the place of insertion, saving
file ! -- Again, what can be easier?!

Of course, unless you keep the life harder, or have trodden the way of
vi/emacs and would not that those disasters were in vain -- no need for
MCedit, but i see no reasons for others to live hard way. Pardon me for
a bit of personal criticism -- i would not offend any, just really can
understand the reason of existing/using such editors.
