Is there actually such a thing as a normal text editor for linux? Every one I've used so far seems to rely on complicated interfaces and ridiculous commands to do simple things you should be able to do simply by moving a cursor around the screen. All I want to do is start editing some configuration files and actually learn how to use this thing properly but I've yet to find a simple to use text editor. Or am I just asking way too much here?
