It depends on how much we want to edit. If we want to edit a lot, a GUI
is more comfortable, but to edit a few lines nano IMO is the better
choice. Nano highlights syntax and is easy to use. Open several
instances of nano in terminal tabs, is like opening several files in
gedit. For sudo tasks xfw provides a GUI and is as uncomplicated as
using a non-GUI editor, but AFAIK without a syntax highlight feature.
