Learning vi:
http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/vi.ref.6

The first time I saw vi, I hated it.  I thought "Why would anyone
actually choose such a terrible editor?"

But then I was forced to use vi for a while,  and I'm glad I was.  I
choose it over other editors now.  vi/vim give you a pretty much
orthogonal set of verbs and nouns in an editing language.

When I have to use editors that make you arrow-key around or click
with a mouse, I feel like it's painfully slow - especially if I need
to do the same thing 5 times in a row.  Sure, some editors let you
define macros - vi/vim do that too. But AFAIK, only vi/vim allow you
to define a repeatable action without forethought.
