Just to clarify the "!" is only needed if you want to quit without saving.

Actually, that is even a bigger argument for learning VI. If you type fast and are often on the keyboard, you will even more efficient because you don't have to move your hand from the keyboard. BUT there are also health reasons, the mouse is the number one cause of carpal tunnel. Using VIM will reduce that risk.
Learning VI is steep but once you learn it you will be amazed that you no longer have to think or look for any menu/tool bar. Your fingers will know the key sequence and be done with it before you realize it.
