Can I? I opened https://www.vim.org/docs.php but something bad happened to it and it displays in microscopic font for me.

After an hour wading through the docs I found a mention of evim:

This manual is about using Vim in the normal way. There is an alternative called "evim" (easy Vim). This is still Vim, but used in a way that resembles a click-and-type editor like Notepad. It always stays in Insert mode, thus it feels very different. It is not explained in the user manual, since it should be mostly self explanatory. See |evim-keys| for details.

That's what you mean?

I don't know how much you actually care, and I'm the nano OP of this comment chain/thread but there are some vims (and emacs) with plugins and what not built in. Only one I can think of off the top of my head is https://spacevim.org/ but theres a bunch.

If you are interested they might give you a good start.
