I’ve used Vim, NeoVim, Micro, mg(1), JOE, and even MS Edit (both the original DOS version and the recent Rust clone). No matter how complex and tailored I wrote my config, though, the features I actually used were included in GNU nano and/or my command shell without any of the bugs, bloat, learning curve, or slop.
Using it as my default just makes sense.

Nano is great for editing files. It is absolutely terrible for any amount of text processing or anything other than raw code copied from a tutorial
