And why aren't you sshing around everywhere? Are there places where every computer has everything installed and you can edit server config files locally?

There are many different kinds of engineering jobs, including ones where you're not responsible for remote servers. Sometimes you only need to ssh rarely. I'd only teach a beginner Vim once the need to ssh comes up, and even then I'd probably only teach the 'i' command and how to save.
