First of all, Vim is anything but easy to learn. That's why the internet is filled with memes about it's steep learning curve. Also, why do you use nano for editing the .vimrc file in a VIM tutorial? And why do you need sudo for that?

I used nano because it's beginner-friendly and adding sudo won't cause any errors too.

It's a bad habit to get into, you should only use sudo when you absolutely need to escalate to root and you should think before doing it.

Yeah, nano is beginner friendly and in any other tutorials I get it why people are using it. But this one is a VIM tutorial :) You could've shown how to copy paste in vim, how to exit it and so much. And your argument "won't cause any errors too" still not justifies the using of sudo.

Its your personal preference if you want you can use vim. I had troubles using vim before finishing the tutorial.
