The most unfortunate thing about vi is it's two modes.  Of course this is 
a personal choice, some person somewhere must like editors with modes.

Well Ked (kind of the father of EDT) runs on my PDT11/150 with only 62kb of
memory available for the o/s and all tasks.

It's got a learn mode and full VT100 and VT52 keypad support and undo.
All in all it's a pretty nifty editor for a 64kb machine.
