I suspect that both vim and nano are using the line endings found when they opened the document.  There is a strong argument to be made for not mixing line endings within a document.  There’s no way that the text editor can know that you DON’T want Windows line endings, just because you’re editing a file on Linux.

Basically, the text editors are playing it safe for you.
