nano is the perfect editor for people who only use editors in the terminal, once in a while to edit a config file.

I don't think it's the perfect editor for anything. They'll have to use vi sooner or later, they might as well learn the basics. Or just use kate.

I've been using linux for 25 years and I can count the number of times I used vi to actually edit something on one hand. They will not "have to use vi sooner or later."

It's OK not to like and not use nano. It's also OK to like and use nano.

Use Kate in command line over ssh?

Ssh - X

Then run kate, easy :)
