I think in my #vi journey on #OpenBSD that I'm leaning towards #nvi as in nvi2. Only because I do use some nerd font stuff to pretty up some of my menus and my bar. But obviously that could change as I may get rid of those nerd fonts and just stick with plain text?
If you're an OpenBSD user and use vi instead of vim do you use the builtin n(vi) or nvi2 ?

I found that prioritizing feel over minimalism and simplicity just a bit — keeps me happy
