Well, that's entirely dependent on what you're familiar with. I suspect that someone who's never used nano will find that environment a bit more confusing than the small amount of file manipulation required to open, edit and save /etc/hosts in a GUI text editor.

If you're going to suggest

sudo nano /etc/hosts

then you might want to explain how the reader should go about doing things like, say, moving the insertion point and saving the changes.
