so forget about all the people who have used vi for decades?

It might make sense to have a bar at the bottom or top with some of the very very basic commands a new user may need (like quitting) that more experienced users can turn off with a command line option or a config value. (specifically if say you do crontab -e or something similar and had no intention of using vim and are now stuck)
