Being able to navigate the terminal is very important, never know when you'll have to remote into a server. This article is definitely a good starter. My only nitpick is that nano isn't really a command for creating files, its a terminal based text editor. Its more synonymous to vim than to touch. While you can use nano in that way, it should be clear that it isn't the alternative to touch.

You are completely right, I use nano because it's more versatile for me to use, then vim.
I find vim a bit more work for some reason.
