As an instructor, it makes excellent sense to give the users a 'start with this' editor ... before covering a more complicated editor (like Vi).

That's a common question with many Objectives. gedit is very intuitive as well. > What if the system doesn't have X11 (or Wayland)? > And so are many others. > Indeed. There are many choices for candidates, both console and X. - bjs P.S. What if nano is not installed on a system? What if the network configuration is invalid on that system?
