1993–1999

Like carljm, used it for years composing email in Pine.

1997–2003

I used Pico at university, before I switched to a distro that had nano instead.

carljm

1999–2005

Only ever used it for composing mail in pine.

iamteem

1999–2004

bitprophet

2000–2002

Used Pico on Linux or Unix distros which weren't sufficiently ra-ra about Free Software that they gave you Nano instead. Eventually learned enough vi(m) to give up the habit, thankfully.

2000–2002

2001–2005

2003–2006

2005–2008

On my Uni's ancient Solaris systems the options were pico or vi (no vim).

madewulf

2005–

Easier to understand than vi at first.

milouse

2006–2007

Used with alpine, before using emacs to write my mails

Da_Nuke

2007–

On my Linux class we used the commercial version of SUSE, which comes with Pico instead of Nano. It's a very average text editor with nothing special.

When I got my MBP, I started using pico for simple text changes.

I think my first experience with pico was with pine sometime in the late 90's early 00's.
