The interesting thing here is that in order to make this argument people forget that at least some new users know the "Press F1 for help" dictum, because that particular part of Common User Access was drummed into them from the start of their encounter with computers. The new users press F1 in vim (not vi) and how to exit is the second and third items on the screen.
(Press F1 in actual vi, and, in some terminals at least, it very informatively inserts the letter "P" into the document. (-:)
