He’s trying to cover up your shameful use of Nano

Vim is hard to use. Would it be worth it to learn it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The only real benefit of vim IIRC is that it's always included in an installation. The other text editors may need to be separately downloaded/installed on new or unfamiliar systems.

Like the other user said, if nano works for you, keep it. If you ever are forced to use vim however, a cheatsheet like this one should make it doable. (And yes, hitting esc a couple times before entering any command is a common practice to make sure you exited a mode)

But if you type the other command too fast after hitting Esc, it might be treated as Alt and do the wrong thing completely.
