I was afraid of using vim and instead used nano for almost 3 years. Changing to vim changed my workflow A LOT! I'd really suggest that new comers try to familiarize with vim. You don't have to be power user just Insert & save & quit commands would do fine. When you feel comfortable enough with terminal just switch to vim completely. If you are sshing into servers a lot It'll really make a difference.
You're talking with a big vim nerd here! 😄I plan to write about that in the future because it is insanely powerful, and, as you said, you just need to know the basics to use it as a regular text editor.
But I wanted to keep this post centered around the terminal.
Haha! My reply wasn't to you actually it was against Robert's "micro" suggestion, very good post keep up the good work! I'd really like to see an advanced Vim post here btw. :D
Not knowing the quit-command in vim, is a beginners nightmare that can scar you. Someday I'll might look into vim aswell, I hear a lot of good things about it :D

I’ve been there! Once you learn the basics, it’s addictive to keep learning. But there is a lot of hate/love around Vim. Is not for everyone.
