      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.
