" vi has two modes...

...one of them just beeps at you."


LOL!

All the commands you need to know in vi: Esc and :q!

That's usually as far as I go before changing the EDITOR variable. Actually, I can get the basics done in vi, but it usually takes me a couple of :q!'s before I get the hang of it, as it's usually quite a time between the occasions...
