In fact I'd go as far as saying that anyone who claims to have mastered VI is a charlatan
Captain Obvious here...you shouldn't only use VI, but pretty much everyone uses it to some extent. I know that in most cases, given enough pictures, I can definitely make a good read based on VI (although other info definitely helps). Noobs that say "IEI-Fe ftw" or something based on a couple pictures on the forum give VI a bad name.
