This comment has me seething, so I should probably stop before I say something that I'll regret. But I want you to know that this couldn't be more wrong.

Nano is GPL, Pico is Apache-2.0. Apple are going to choose pico given how similar the editors are, there's no real downside to going with Pico.
As a vi-guy, who's even edited files used cat, tail, head and ed in extremis on a DECstation when Ultrix crashed and wouldn't boot, I admit that I don't really care either way :)
