Indeed, I often work on FreeBSD & OpenBSD boxes where nvi is the
default vi instead of vim. I find myself missing a couple things
like text objects, folding, multiple windows, and expression
evaluation (whether as a register or as a sub-replace-special) the
most. Syntax highlighting can be nice, but I can get along without
it.
