That StackOverflow comment is really good for grokking the zen of vi(m). Those new to vi / vim, hit the ground running with my short vi quickstart tutorial here: https://gumroad.com/l/vi_quick https://gumroad.com/l/vi_quick I first wrote that tutorial at the request of a couple of Windows system admin friends of mine (at a company where I worked earlier), who were tasked with managing a few Unix boxes, without knowing Unix. They used the tutorial and later told me that it helped them to quickly start using vi to do their work on those boxes, including editing config files, simple shell scripts, etc. Since vi is mostly a subset of vim, the tutorial works for vim too.
