I often get viewers asking me about what skills they should learn to become a "power user" or "elite." While there are so many important skills that one could learn, I think the two most important programs that every Linux user owes it to themselves to learn are Vim and Emacs.

Blah, blah, blah... Another 'expert' promoting his favorite software. Vim and emacs are pretty powerful all right, but in the end they are text editors. There are many text editors out there, and how to use a specific software release is never the "most important skill you should learn." There are often many different ways to get what you want done. In the linux/unix world you will never learn everything: --be open-minded and find the software that resonates with you and is most intuitive for you as an individual Remember, almost everything has a man page. This flexibility is one of the chief advantages of being a linux user.

I use nano because I like sticking forks in wall sockets.
