OMG this page was hilarious. What's funnier is that I don't think the author was trying to be funny, I think the author was trying to seed Google searches. Anyway, sometimes Git is misconfigured and dumps me into vi. (I use Windows.) When this happens, I just open Task Manager and kill the process. Otherwise, I have no need to learn vi, nor do I think vi is a useful skill to learn.

The variants of the vi editor are found in a vast array of POSIX systems, and knowledge of it is invaluable for these platforms. There is a well-known tutor file that will teach the basic use of vi. On the RedHat 9 family, this is the manual page: $ rpm -ql vim-common | grep tutor | grep man/man1 /usr/share/man/man1/gvimtutor.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/vimtutor.1.gz Loading Oracle Linux 9 into the WSL subsystem on Windows will bring in this RPM.
