I find that the default gui editor that comes with each desktop is good enough in most cases (xed with cinnamon, mouse with xfce, kate with kde, etc). But if you’re looking for a terminal editor, a lot of people are praising micro as very user-friendly with solid functionality.
That’d be because micro doesn’t do a window, or at least doesn’t need one. It’s a terminal text editor, which some people prefer in general, but it can also be used without a graphical environment - like when SSHing into a server or recovering your system if the graphical environment breaks. Or if you’re editing critical system configs with sudo and want to do it from tty with a simple editor to minimize points of failure.

How hard is it to learn from a scale where 0 is VS
codeslop and 10 is VIM?Considering how many buttons vs code has, micro seems easier to use
