yash VS sponge

And FreeBSD and OpenBSD supply nvi as their vi.

In contrast, there are plenty of people that push this as a handy default. It's all over the place and sneaks in via all sorts of routes -- very unfortunately for those people who want vi to invoke something that is closer to genuine Joy vi than VIM and NeoVIM are, even in their "compatible" modes.

Just one example is the default yashrc that is used by the Watanabe shell: https://github.com/magicant/yash/blob/trunk/share/initializa...

(Yes, this is the default, in the absence of a yashrc file, not the sample yashrc file.)

For the ones that love a more lightweight setup I recommend yash [0].

It is more lightweight than zsh, fish, or bash and comes with a decent auto-completion and line prediction a-la fish.

I was previously a zsh user. I already tried fish, however, its non-POSIX-compliant was a hard stop for me at the time.
