Sometimes it's hard for me to decide which software I want to 
use for a specific task: Some time ago I distrohopped three 
times a week and changed my desktop environment with a 
unhealthy obsession. Then I wanted to stop it, which wasn't 
that easy.. For now I settled on Void GNU/Linux with the lovely 
Xfce desktop environment.
Oh it would be great if it was that easy -- but it just isn't. 
For example, I can not decide between gemini and gopher.
But there is another decision to make, when you want to write 
on a GNU/Linux system: What text editor to use.

Recently I tried to familiarize myself with emacs and vim -- 
those are great programs but I really don't need functionality 
for everything and anything -- I just want to write some stuff 
after all. And while it seems as I have to write some texts 
with Libreoffice, simple texteditors are still great for 
blogging, phlogging and gemlogging.

Right now I'm using the GNU nano -- sure, laugh at me for this 
from your emacs or vim installation, but nano seems to be 
exactly the editor I really need. It is not overcomplicated, it 
does not have thousands of functions and it isn't an IDE. But 
that is what I like about it.

This is brilliant -- but I like this!

    vim/emacs           nano

But hey, at least I'm not using gedit. ;)
<----------------------------------------------------------------->

By the way, here are some usefull flags for nano:

-S --> soft-wrapping long lines while not creating new ones
	--> useful for gemini

-b --> hard-wrapping long lines (creating new ones in the size 
	   of the terminal)
	--> useful for gopher

-l --> line numbers
