I think one could get by if the cursor keys work, backspace and delete work, and typing anything inserts it straight in at the cursor (instead of having to enter "insert mode"), then Ctrl-Z asks you whether you want to save, save as, or quit without saving.
Beyond that home, end, Ctrl-home, Ctrl-end would be nice, and a means to mark, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V.
Almost as bad! I seem to remember something like that in the early days of MS-DOSNo, sed is a stream editor, ed is a line-based editor.

Brilliant (and hilarious)!"vi is an editor with two modes: one which destroys your input and the other which beeps at you."
The thing is, it's not "features" the occasional file-tweaker needs, it's intuitive usage. At least now vi can use the cursor keys, I remember having to use the h j k l keys to move the edit cursor (had to look that up).What editor features would you miss? I'll bet Vim can do it.
