    I recently wrote jdebp.info/FGA/original-vi.htm and was thinking of doing something like this, to augment it; because Sven Guckes's list (guckes.net/vi/clones.html) is definitely dated and incomplete, nowadays.

    It does not have #NeoVIM (for obvious reasons). Most lists of clones miss that there are several forks of Bostic #nvi, not least the two forks that are in #FreeBSD and #NetBSD base. Similarly, #DragonFlyBSD has forked nvi2.

    It's not even a hot take. It's actual history.

    STEVIE came from the days when people were re-inventing Joy vi for other platforms and systems with (gasp!) arrow keys and console-paradigm I/O.

    It was less than a decade until people were thinking that Joy vi could be improved and were actively trying to make things that were better.

    Watcom vi, for another example, came out in the early 1990s and that had windows, and uses for function keys.
