Yes. Definitely. Disclaimer: I don't often use a modal text-editor like vi/vim, I use one like emacs that employs control-codes. ('jstar', a clone of the WordStar that I've been imprinted with for nearly 40 years) All UNIX systems have vi/vim built-in. It pays to have a working knowledge of it, even when it's not your everyday text editor. It's got me out of a few emergencies with recent installs over the years. (Broken /etc/fstab, anyone?)
