I just read a micro vs. nano. But each point in favor of micro was “i have that already in nano”. Syntax highlighting, status bar with col/line, undo/redo, even mouse support.
I like both. But many people don’t even realize that nano has quite a lot of configuration options. To me, they’re text editors, not code editors. For code, I use VSCode (or “code”, the FOSS variant).

Yes, but for a quick edit or glance, nano-syntax-highlight and lesspipe with highlight or bat are nice.
Treesitter and native LSP levels the playing field pretty handily IMO.
I have never heard of customisation for nano. That said, I’m quite pleased with programming my vim how I like it.
