Worth noting there are still elvis and the one true vi available, in case vim gets foobar'd, though I haven't checked their respective states now and last used either over ten years ago. Like with shells, I've always wondered why people are so quick to jump onto particular implementations when the value is in the wide availability of editors implementing vi key bindings, and the comfort of building up muscle memory this brings. Obviously, I couldn't care less about "plugins".


And nvi, the 4.4BSD unencumbered reimplementation.

LSP as a replacement for original vi's cscope integration is the main reason I eventually switched from nvi to vim.
