Looks interesting. I'll probably keep using nano, as it is usually installed by default and my needs are minimal. The single binary without dependencies should certainly make adoption easier.

I feel like being preinstalled is really the most difficult hurdle for a lot of these tools to clear. Its the reason most scripts are written in sh/bash. You don't want to give your users another dependency, so you use what everyone has installed anyways.
Micro is absolutely fantastic piece of software. I install it everywhere I can - windows, mac, pi, router, vacuum robot.
The best feature of it - its static binary without requirements, so you can literally use it wherever you want, just put it in /bin.
I highly recommend it for everyone - it's basically CLI sublime text.
