The first time I used VI I typed a few characters, then hit backspace to delete some characters. Backspace doesn't delete characters. I closed VI and never opened it again.

Yeah yeah, brag about being able to close VI the first time of use...

And you weren't curious about how it worked? Not at all?

A million better alternatives exist. I was curious about them.

You need to type i first to enter insert mode.
