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.

TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.
In the period where the following commands were valid
ATX3DT
ATA
Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.
The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing
