People will probably beat this to death, but take some time and go through the tutorials, and really learn it.  The ramp is a bit steep, but it is such an efficient editor.  You don't need to learn every esoteric way of doing things, but a dozen or more keys will have you zipping around in no time.

(escape):wq or (escape)ZZ .  If you're going to try to use vim, you
