Still using nvi on Slackware.
No plugins. No syntax highlighting. Just speed, predictability, and classic vi behavior, even with multi-GB files.
I wrote a short guide explaining why nvi still matters and how its architecture enables fast, low-memory editing.

On second thought, #Vi-like keybindings do have a couple of advantages:
1. Simplicity: you have to memorize them, but that's *easy* since they're single letters.
2. Familiarity: knowing you can open many text-based programs and type / to search or q to quit is a breath of fresh air.
But no, most of us don't think "3wdb" when trying to delete the third word from the cursor. That's machine speak.
