Google literally didn't exist when I first was thrust into vim (well, vi) a large number of years ago ;) Pretty sure I eventually gave up and closed the terminal window - dialed directly into the university's unix server. Can't remember which version of unix it was, though.

It was probably the default editor for tin, the usenet client I was using. At least pine used pico as its editor which was a bit more friendly.

I'm outing myself here, but a computer programming class in college has forcibly thrust all two dozen of us, none of us ever touched a Linux machine in our lives prior to that point, into using vi.

And all using the command-line from boot-up.

Cue hilarity as we spent a good hour or so trying to fumble our way into creating our first C program. Made some friends that day though, so I guess that was the intent? Camaraderie through shared suffering?
