He’s trying to cover up your shameful use of Nano
Vim is hard to use. Would it be worth it to learn it?
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.
