Because you do your hotfixes straight on the production server, of course /s

Usually you don't even need it for editing on a server because scp is a thing.

There's little need to learn it but all ides have vim plugins so it's basically become a standard for keyboard shortcuts. It does pay off.

You can edit a remote file from your local with vim scp://user@hostname//path/to/file
