You can't use vi without understanding its different modes etc. And anyway, vi is not the kind of program you discover accidentally by clicking around. It's to a sysadmin or hacker what using a screwdriver or maybe a soldering iron is to someone meddling with electronics - part of the essential background. You use it because you need it. There are lots of 'cheat sheets' around, and there's 'man vi' of course.
