Knowing VIM does not make one a better sys-admin. You can be an idiot, and still know how to drive Vi/Vim. There is FAR FAR FAR more to managing an OS and than that. If you think requiring VIM is enough to keep unknowledgeable people away from servers, you are probably the one who shouldn't be managing servers.
Here's the one reason why I decided to learn Vim rather than emacs: You will find Vim installed somewhere on basically any Unix-like system running in the world. It's the one I can virtually guarantee is there, as part of busybox if nothing else.
Except for Gentoo, for some odd reason they've never included it in the stage tarball so it always has to be installed manually
Which is even weirder when you realize it is included on the live install iso, so you'll be using it up until you chroot and all of a sudden find it's not available anymore
That's a bit like...at one point during Linux Mint's installation, it removes gparted. gparted is included in the Live environment, but not in the standard install.
