Even for those that prefer GUI programs, you may need to know how use some command line text editors, at least basically, to fix up a system that won't boot properly, or start a graphical environment. By default, vi is already on Fedora, and many other systems. So I'd say to learn it, or pre-install some other editor, in preparation for that annoying day where you can only fix up a system with what's already on it.
