        Every other admin I work with uses vi. Not my personal choice, but it seems like lots of people are content still using it.

        Vi? Not Vim or Neovim

        I have probably had them all and then some more. Honestly, I don’t care about these fine distinctions.

          I’d say that whether the backspace key works properly is a pretty important distinction.

            pretty important

            Not that much… only if you have a habit of making many single key typos ;-)

            For editing text, better learn all the other ways, too. They are so much more powerful than the deletion of single characters.

        I just learned about neovim. Combined with vim bootstrap. Officially made it my primary and aliased for vi
