Nano is actually just a modified "Pico", which is the PIne COmposer.

Simple, yes, but vi can do many things that require multiple keystrokes to do 
with pico/nano.

Emacs can launch satellites, assuming you have a machine that doubles as a 
space heater to run it on.

One big advantage to vi is that is available on just about any Unix system, 
even if the graphics subsystem is not installed or is faulty. No graphical 
desktop required.
