Ask HN: What do you think of using Vi rather than Vim or Neovim?

I have been using Vim and later Neovim for a couple of years, but I have noticed they have become slower and more feels a lot more bulky, especially Vim. I have also developed some nasty habits with plugins that has caused me to forget some of the original commands. So I am thinking about going pure Vi. I think I can live without syntax highlighting, but have any of you gone pure Vi and not gone back?
