It may not be so difficult to remember those things... if you ever knew 
those things, to start with. I remember the first time I tried vi and 
could even exit from it.

With many other "user friendly" editors there is some kind of menu or help 
line to get you started at least. It is not the best editor for novices in 
this time and age: that's why the suse rescue system nowdays also includes 
'joe'.
