I rarely ever use 'vim' but it is occasionally of great benefit to know
the first 15 min. of the 'vimtutor' directions. The rest is just neat
stuff to know. The idea of modes in a text editor threw me for a loop
for about a year (back in RedHat 5.2 days). I didn't know about
'vimtutor' at the time. Priceless! I think, for most use, nano is all
you need and it has a menu so you don't have to remeber as much.
