Depends a lot on the work that you have to do I guess. I can spend a lot of time on remote systems, so learning a powerful editor that I can rely on to be there was useful. And all linuxes usually have vi or vim.

But if you don't do that sort of thing, there are plenty of other tools that you can use. Most are probably far easier than learn vi.

But I like using command line tools where possible. Most are available everywhere and they are incredibly powerful once you learn parts of them.
