My use of vi-like editors is sufficiently minimalist that I use a locally built http://ex-vi.sf.net/ and still don't really need more than about half the features of that.

I -personally- find it way more comfortable than even a minimal vim install because when I typo a command it beeps at me, whereas in vim I generally accidentally activate a command I don't understand and get broken out of flow while I figure out wtf just happened.

I don't at all judge people who're IDE wizards, I've not seen any correspondence between maximalist versus minimalist taste in tooling and competence, but this approach works way better for me.

This doesn't happen to me very often anymore but when it does I’m grateful for multiple undo, I’d be scared to use an editor without it.
