VI(M) can seem daunting at first, but it's really not hard to learn
the *basics* of editing files and you can pick up some of the more
advanced techniques as you go along.

One of the benefits of learning VIM as a tool for editing your Ruby
source code is that you'll find a number of other uses for VIM, since
it's a general purpose text editor. VIM, or VI (the original editor on
which VIM is based) are available on most every Unix/Linux machine
that you'll ever run into, so it's a good tool to have at your
disposal.
