No article mentioning vi (aka vim) would be complete without a corresponding post mentioning emacs. To my mind emacs is dead easy to learn: you only need remember one thing -- to stop the program hold down the Control key and press the C key. Emacs will walk you through everything else, and will walk you through stopping the program too if you use a more recent version that runs under X.
Of course, the vi-or-emacs question is a religious one going back to the dawn of time. I write this for those who are just starting and not yet indoctrinated into either camp and so still retain their free will.
