I was thinking about saying this as a joke, but in thinking about it I realised it was a tip that I received that was actually genuinely useful to me. My best Vim tip is: use Emacs with EVIL instead. As a long-time Vim user EVIL is a good enough emulation for me to feel comfortable whilst getting the benefits of Emacs’ better programming models/APIs and all the excellent features people have written for it.

My favorites are:
gq - autoformat/wrap lines
di( or di{ or di< or di[ - deletes everything between braces
. - performs last editing action (macro)
q - sets macro
visual-mode - great for commenting out a block of code
And the best key sequence that I wish vim tutorials would cover is....
ctrl-c - It's the touch-typist friendly equivalent to esc.
