I'm surprised everyone keeps recommending using vi and vim, yet no one

"An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi", /usr/share/doc/usd/12.vi/.
This document is the closest thing available to an introductionto the vi
screen editor.
To learn the basics of vi, vim comes in handy. After installing vim, one
can use vimtutor to learn-by-doing all the useful basics in roughly 30
minutes - and those work in our base nvi as well. It is well-written and
very effective at teaching vi. Afterwards one is "skilled" enough to
appreciate the complete documentation and do any configuration work
and/or nvi-based programming on OpenBSD without (further) packages
installed.
