Honestly, I've never learned to do more than the basics in Vi(m) -- for most of my career, if I needed to make significant changes, I was working locally and had access to something more modern. But pretty much everyone needs to be able to, say, open a file and change a DB connection string in vi. It's like a survival skill. I only started using emacs in the last few years, which is super weird for someone my age (48). It was orgmode that sold me, and once I was using it for that, it was easier to do other things in it, too.
