Vim is one if those: good to know things, even if don't you use it as a daily driver.

It will help you one day.

I still remember my first time with vim. Opened vim and didn't know how to close it, so I close the terminal.😅

Yeah. I know just enough about it to make minor edits, save and quit. :) Some 25 years ago a friend of mine was using Vim and the speed at which he got things done was incredible. I never had the patience to sit down and really learn it.
