vile

I've found vile a good option as I'm addicted to syntax highlighting: similar speed to nvi, much faster than vis and vim. https://invisible-island.net/vile/.

Traditional Ex - Vi editor

If you want to go ultimately minimalist http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/ builds and runs on most modern systems just fine. Having learned vi across eight-ish different unices at once my muscle memory is very minimalist so I tend to use ex-vi preferentially, simply because everything else adds features I don't use that I can accidentally activate with a typo and break myself out of flow figuring out wtf just happened. I can absolutely imagine that for somebody who tends to use OpenBSD on their own machines, being able to have the exact same editor elsewhere could be really quite handy for much the same reasons.
