Back in my college years, the first time I tried the Vim editor, I couldn't quit the editor, but was knowledgeable enough to kill Vim's process.

And yet, later on, when understood the editor's philosophy, I felt enlightened.

First-year CS students don't read what's printed on the screen? Good lord how can we expect the average user to do the same?

Ask a first-year CS student to quit out of ed.

From command mode, it's the same, from insert mode you need to know how to get to command mode, so it's harder to get out of vi compared to ed.
