vis is absolutely great. Wish more people were aware of it (and it's cool it is mentioned in the post) and that more people used it. I still miss some features from vim, like buffers, but feels so much snappier, lighter and intuitive - and the structural regular expressions part is outstanding.

Totally agree, Vis really hits an spot between modern feel without losing what made vi great. The structural regex is a game-changer.
have you tried sam? or plan 9 in general? I'd recommend both if you haven't (though, plan 9 defaults to acme iirc)
