Other then those instances where you accidentally hit a wrong key and get stuck where you have to shut off the SSH session, vim is actually not so bad.

I discovered that if you type :1 or any other number instead of 1, it will bring you directly to that line number! That's awesome, since I used to just scroll down and wait and wait and wait till I get to the right place. (this can be long with large files such as apache's config)

Best thing about vi/vim is the use of regular expressions can save so much time!

I still prefer pico/nano for quick fixes smile.gif
