Oh good grief. Learn a few of the simple commands for vi / vim. It is
good for you, puts hair on your chest, makes you a man. If you are a
woman then you probably should stick to emacs. (It's a joke ladies, I
know you all are very feminine and prefer vi(m)) Anyway, emacs is a great
OS that needs a simple text editor. :P

Seriously, any decent *n?x systems administrator *must* know the basics
of vi(m). Any Linux distribution that does not include vi(m) in a default
install is not going to be one I will use.
