IMO nano should be part of base. Other editors might have advantages over nano, but to set up config files, it's on of the most easiest to use editors. It's my default editor, because you don't get a tendonitis and you don't need to learn billions of shortcuts and a strange language to configure the editor, IOW it's not like Emacs and it's also not like the two modes Vi/m, "beep repeatedly" and "break everything". Sure, for coders those editors have their advantages, but to set up an install nano is a good choice, because it can be used by everybody. Perhaps by default an improved nanorc should be provided.
I didn't use nano much but I'm pretty sure you could edit text faster in MS Word, so I cannot imagine any scenario in which it should be used. If you don't know how to use anything better you should probably learn ASAP.
