I've found vile a good option as I'm addicted to syntax highlighting: similar speed to nvi, much faster than vis and vim. https://invisible-island.net/vile/ ht

- trn 5y agoI will confirm that Vile is an excellent editor. I don't know if I'd consider it a vi-clone, because the vi-ness is kind of skin-deep, but it's performant and works well. (In school, early 90's, there was a large vile following on VMS, which is where I mostly used it. I don't recall why it was preferred to Vim on VMS, however. Perhaps we didn't have Vim easily available or installed. But I digress.)
