i was using elvis so far until i started using vim. I was pretty happy with
it, but the feeling was that it was keeping so much stuff in the core
instead of delegating to external programs or scripts.
But thats true, elvis is smaller than vim :) you can publish a git/bzr/hg
branch of the last commit with your patches. I will happy try it and we
can probably use it as a playground.

I mostly use elvis which, in my opinion, is much smaller, faster and
more suckless vi-clone than vim. As a little example compare elvis.syn
with vim syntax files. It even has interesting features that vim lacks
(for instance see :display or smartargs). (they might be available in
vim through scripts.)
The only problem is it is not maintained anymore, AFAIK (I have sent a
couple of patches to Steve Kirkendall but got no response; neither does
the web page show any activity). I really hope it to be maintained once
more :-(
