Who needs vim or neovim? If I didn't need UTF-8 support, OpenBSD vi (Keith Bostic's nvi) would be fine.Instead, since I use characters outside US ASCII, I use nvi2 (nvi in ports). :)

@starbreaker nvi2 is deafult vi in DragonflyBSD, should taken likewise everywhere IMHO. Zihao Yuan is a major FreeBSD ports contrbutor and a minor developer, I really do not understand why wouldn't FreeBSD adopt his nvi version too instead of kotnet.org's
