Programmers' editor

I learned to play Hack (later Nethack) first, so vi keys were pretty much learned before I ever saw a vi. How to quit on the other hand...

P.S. I generally use Notepad++, plenty of plugins.

Yeah, all of his videos are hilarious and only barely exaggerated.

Wordstar (Lotus 123 and 10M Ethernet card of full length IBM PC card, kind of 30 or 40 square inches. Also 300  to 2400 BPS modem) did serve many productive office-users on single digit MHz CPU (some say, that changed course of history of mankind), Apple II, Z80 and the later IBM PC 8088 CPU at 4.7MHz and 64kB RAM

I first encountered Wordstar on a 64K Z80 CP/M system with 8 inch floppy drives and a Soroc IQ120 terminal.  I reprogrammed Wordstar to take full advantage of the terminal's command codes and reset the RS-232 baud rate to 19,200.

Later we had it on Z80 Softcard CP/M on an Apple ][e.  Then it was on an IBM PC with MS-DOS or PC-DOS, and I used it on PCs until long filenames came into being.  I also used it on a Kaypro II.

For I while I reprogrammed whatever editor I was using with the Wordstar command keys, but at some point editors were no long able to support this.  I think you can still do this on VI.
