When I started, the account setup process at Google was done with a room full of new hires on Linux machines, and assumed knowledge of vi.
I was like "WTF?" because I'm a Mac programmer and my plain text editor is BBEdit or an IDE. If I have to edit a file in Terminal I'll use nano.
The session leader thought I was weird, but I quit vi (eventually), used nano and it worked fine. I still don't know how to use vi or Emacs.
