I am the reverse, I hate when I ssh in a server and try to edit crontab and I get hit with vim. At least now vim shows you how to quit it if you attempt to ctrl+c it. I don't need vim when I want to edit a 10 line files.

This has been the case for at least ten years. I started using Linux in 2009 and the first time I opened vim, I tried using ctrl-c to quit and saw that message.

Servers are usually running LTS Linux versions and I had to Google how to quit vim a few times because I forget. Same with closing a frozen SSH, I kinda know the shortcut but I am always wrong a bit so I eventually remember it or Google it again. Things I do not use often are just wiped from my memory.
