I get why OSes come with nano as the default editor, but it's so confining and slow to use when you're used to vim (or I'm sure emacs)

Emacs is a bit special in that the "canonical" way of editing a remote configuration file with it is probably using TRAMP, i.e. connecting your local emacs via ssh to edit the remote file as if it was local.
