As opposed to doing what? Using a GUI editor? Using emacs? vim is just as likely to be on any linux/os x box today as vi was to be on any UNIX box when you were learning vi, and it's still very powerful today.

This is not something I'm well-educated in, but it's something I'm interested in. Do you have references to these statistics that you can share/cite/etc? I'd like to read more about what you've outlined.
