Learning vi/vim

I’ve decided that I want to become more proficient in vi, the classic UNIX text editor. Being a jed (which is emacsish) fan, it feels somewhat masochistic to learn vi, but also a good reason. The reason is that while jed and even Emacs are not necessarily on any given UNIX machine, vi always is. It will pay to be proficient with the common denominator.
