I also recommend you learn vi. There are one reason which is not vi
related and I want to point it out here.
People using vi usually work on terminal ... if your are Linux or
Win32/MinGW+MSYS
user ... you are probably using 'bash'. The 'bash' has a edit mode
called vi mode
which allow you to edit command history via vi's search command '/' or '?'.
If you are using terminal command a lot ... this feature is your
friend. It's a lot
of better than using arrow key to fetch back the command history.
So, learn vi ... and you can share the same command when using terminal/bash.
