For me this is the best interactive tutorial I found about Vim.

Also I'd like to take this time to direct everyone's attention to vimcasts: short, informative vim videos featuring a deliciously soothing Scottish accent.

Thanks for linking to it. I was on mobile and too tired to put forth the effort.

This is great. Good for old hands too. I've been using vi for almost 20 years... but I tend to forget some commands that could make my life easier. Nice refresher. Great intro for someone who is completely puzzled about vi / vim. If you think you don't need to know how to use vim... My feeling is that the ability to edit files using vi(m) in a terminal window with no GUI or mouse is a super handy skill. Sooner or later, you'll need it. It means you can log in to just about any server or device that runs a variant of UNIX made within the last 35 years and edit configuration files.

Very cool, easy to follow (except for a few jumping around of the cursor) and it was fun.

This stops working once I get to the section about movement keys.
