Nano is not a gui desktop editor. Besides that vim is superior to nano in my opinion. A viable alternative would be an open source editor like Atom, but it can be useful to have a lightweight simple editor that doesn't blow up with a big file and is installed by default. On Wed, Jan 23, 2019, 21:4

I have the exact same problem. From a usability point of view, this editor is practically useless for big files and I wonder why it is the default editor? The bug should either be fixed or another editor should be set as default in my opinion. Vim opens the same file in not even a second and Libr

It's much worse than described. It's not just that you don't (and should) see a progress bar, that the whole UI blocks (and shouldn't) and that you don't get a warning when the file actually can't be properly handled. It's also that handling of big files is ridiculously inefficient. A file as sma
