You might see it yourself: K for cut, very intuitive , ^ for „Press <ctrl> key, 
even more intuitive.

As with vim, you have to have some prior knowledge to use nano (and you don’t 
have something like the famous "vi cup“ at hand :-) ). And nano "hijacks" 4 
lines from the already few lines you have on a text terminal on the newly 
installed server (or on your server in emergency mode, even more stressful). 

I can't understand the "missionary zeal" that some people bring into the field 
for Nano. It is more a question of knowledge and, above all, of requirements 
for the editor. Nano as default for Workstation may have some merit, but as 
default for server it makes more sense to use vim.
