Everyone should learn Vi / VIm

I always wanted to learn vi. It seems that once you get to know it well, you can be a lot more productive.
The problem is you got to invest some time to learn all the shortcuts that will help you to be productive and practice them often to get used to them. A good start is the vimtutor which is an interactive learning resource that can be started by typing vimtutor in the shell. Once you finish the tutorial, you can find a ton of resources on the internet. Personally, I'm starting with vim tips http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki. There is a lot of good tips, like autocompletion feature which can be done using Ctrl+N for next word and Ctrl+p for previous word.
If I can be as good in vi as this guy http://stackoverflow.com/a/1220118/612920 , I'm sure I'll be at least 10 times faster. If you decide as well to start learning vim, I'm sure you are making a good decision.
