Is it worth trying to learn vim? I know the basics (like how to quit), but wasn't sure if it was worth the time.

"basics (like how to quit)" haha haha

It's really not worth it despite what vim/emacs/whatever fanatics wanna tell you. A proper IDE beats them easily any day of the week and twice on sundays

Yes, if you're planning on doing any level of server management vim/vi is the standard and should be used as such.

I am a regular vim user and I will say: not for regular use. But you should learn it just a bit

I like vim because I'm always in a terminal. I don't like gui's. Hell half the time I dont even start X. BUT, if you don't mind gui's, and aren't constantly sshing or moving between boxes that aren't yours, or etc. If you like a gui, and consistently use a machine that is yours, then no, you're better off with an IDE.

BUT: vi(m) is available on just about every Linux ever. Your TV and router and hell maybe even your phone charger has vi installed. If you can use it without commiting suicide, you will never worry about weird environments.

Also alot of GNU tools use either vi or emacs mappings. Some even have both. Things like less/more, htop, etc so being at least a little comfortable with both is a good idea.

Learn it a little: yes
Learn it alot: maybe
Switch to it as a main IDE: that's up to you. I love it! You might not.

@12bitfloat Vi is available on any Linux system, I'd say learning at least the basics would be good!

@linuxxx Knowing how to exit is a good first step lol
