If you sys admin various flavors of *nixes you need to know VI. Example, if you are given a server with standard *nix build (i.e. AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, etc) , you won't find vim, nano, joe, emacs, etc. but your first and de facto editor will be VI. I think knowing VI is a need; sys admins shouldn't get around learning. Its a must. I personally wouldn't hire a sys admin that hasn't taken the time an effort to learn the basics of VI.
