By all means do use vi (especially if you know it already). Other folks
might like other editors – pico, nano, MicroEmacs, …, whatever. The list
is virtually endless, and as Alan points out, various non-vi editors are
either part of the default install of many Linux distributions or else
available for easy and convenient installation after the fact. We do
teach people how to install additional software packages, and that
knowledge can be put to profitable use right away.

People (other than Alan) don't seem to understand that there is a big
difference between using vi and putting vi on the LPIC-1 exam. Nobody
wants to take vi away from anyone who wants to use it. However, those
people who argue that vi must be on the LPIC-1 exam essentially argue
that *every* LPIC-1 candidate should be *forced* to learn vi, whether
they need or want it or not. That is what I'm opposing, not any
individual's personal use of vi.
