I used to be in the "eww, vi" camp before taking a sysadmin job that basically forced me to use it. I used to remove vi at my first opportunity and link /bin/vi to nano instead.

Well, almost a year later, and I can't use nano without being irritated. All of the jumping around the keyboard for functions seems really inefficient all of a sudden.

Vim - :wq! :D

Nano - C-o <ret> <ret> C-x >:(

Probably the reason that emacs feels so wrong right now, though I'm doing my damnedest to become at least basically proficient with it, if nothing else for all of the ancillary features (like a really nice IRC client or the best text-mode organizer I've ever seen).
