Learning Vi at an early stage in career has been a life saver for me. Having to do a lot of my work on remote shells over many years could have been more difficult had I not had some degree of command over a text editor like Vi.
And then there are other advantages too. Editing code in Vi/Vim is akin to touch typing if you are really good. Programming becomes so much easier and so much fun.
And last but not the least, there are still loads of things to learn about Vi.

I did switch from vim to Emacs + Evil though (Evil adds a decent text editor to Emacs), with my own set of spacemacs-like keybindings.
