I feel I need to defend vi now, but I went for years without needing to learn vi with trusty pico (I don't think nano existed back then). As long as you're not going to be using really cut down systems and are sticking to linux you can probably happily ignore the existance of vi. On the other hand there's bound to be ocassions where vi is all you've got to try and rescue a system with. I oringially learnt vi because I had to use Solaris at work, and now that's all I use. Going back to something else just feels clunky! Mmm, regex.
