I’ve worked in a few places that were full of Linux nerds (including my current job). We totally use sed style replacements and joke about vim escape keys (especially the classic :q). So you just need nerdier friends (as in ramped up to 11).
This is why it works so well. It’s also one of the reasons I prefer vi over other text editors. It isn’t always the most logical which commands and keys do what, but I like the consistency.
