Here's why I taught vim to students (at a coding bootcamp, in 2017).

- vimtutor does all the work for you.

- Like the author says starting up and editing with vim "just works".

When I "teach" vim, what I'm really doing is grading their homework. After their vimtutor hour, no student asked me how to edit git commits.

I know it might seem lazy (it is), but when there's a teacher better than you, don't teach it yourself, delegate. I happily delegate to vimtutor. Miss or mister vimtutor, you're a better teacher at vim than I will ever be.
