Nano is another small text mode text editor.  It happens to be the one
Gentoo uses by default, because it's small, yet has on-screen help and
functions close enough to an MSWormOS editor that folks switching aren't
/entirely/ lost.

Personally, I use midnight commander (mc) and its editor (mcedit) and
viewer (mcview) for nearly all my sysadmin type work, both at the console
and at the konsole (kde xterm).  However, I use PAN's native editor for
composing news messages, even my 200-300 line "explanatory tomes". <g>
