I keep reading about productivity on vi vs other browsers. That's cool, however the thing that makes me want to use vi with proficiency is another though: availability. I spend a lot of time in ssh or docker sessions and not knowing vi can severely hinder my job.
- nineteen999 7y agoThe thing is, if you were a user of multiple different UNIX systems the previous century, it was much the same - vi was the only editor installed out of the box on all of Solaris, BSD, Tru64, AIX, HP-UX, Linux etc. So if you were frequently moving between them as some of us were, you wouldn't get very far if you didn't know at least the basics of vi.
