Vim Text Editor

I installed the vim text editor tutorial and the installation went fine. I went through the tutorial and I thought that it was ok. It was pretty different from any text editor I have ever used because it is modal. It was weird pressing escape to get back to the normal mode. The directional letters took a little while to get used to, but it was not bad since they are in a line on the keyboard. There were a lot of commands that I like and that seemed to save a lot of time using over other text editors. An example is the d command to delete. It is especially useful being able to add a number to delete several words in a row (d5w) or typing dd to delete a whole line. I also like the replace command (r). I did get confused a little in the substitution section. It's cool that you can also do outside commands within the text editor. At one point accidentally hit v before I got to the part about what v does and had a hard time getting out of it.
