Probably like me, some people might be intersted in learning Vim (“the most powerful text editor”). In this topic we can add posts with Vim tutorials or cheat sheets or whatever helpful resource you may find 
I found this one today:

Learning Vim – (via @AstonJ)
Also there’s a great theme here (Theme now lives here).

Great @AstonJ, I’m going to use yours
Unfortunately, the Elixir Vim theme doesn’t seem very good.
AstonJ
Yeah I love that theme. If I’m able to figure it out, I will try to port it to Spacemacs, and then maybe Elixirfy it (for Vim too)

When I used vim years ago (before switching to emacs) I watched the vimcasts tutorials. Most of them are at an intermediate or professional level (at least far beyond my skills when I watched them ;)), but I think they are a good learning resource when you have put of the baby-wheels.
