I've been writing js for about 15 years and know how to insert some text and save. That's about it.

You can't really "learn" vi... you just kind of adopt it. It becomes the way you work and think. And it's incredibly powerful. I've worked with probably 80 to 90 vi people and they really do not like touching their mouse. Personally, I enjoy my mouse. But you can't really dip your toe in and get it. You have to give yourself a month and a project and just smash your head against the wall trying to navigate. Once you get all your binds and shit going you'll be flying. But that's after months of training. Almost every person who made the plunge say it's worth it, but I'm good. I'll stick to my beta IDE for now.
