My prefered editor is nano, probably because it's relatively simple
and it was the first I was introduced to (and could use without confusion).
I recently found that I could make it much nicer to use by copying
/usr/pkg/share/nano/nanorc.nanorc to my home (~) as .nanorc, then
editing to enable options.
For gopher purposes, these are options which seem useful that I've
enabled:
set atblanks
set softwrap
set breaklonglines # might be redundant to softwrap?
set fill 70
set guidestripe 75
