If you ever have to work at the command line AND you do not have a window manager (for example you are logged in remotely to a Linux box or embedded device with ssh), then you need an old-fashioned text editor. VIM and EMACS are the "real" text-editor classics, but if you are not ready to jump in the deep end, Nano is newbie friendly and you can be editing files in minutes (vs. about an hour for VIM and considerably more than that for EMACS).
