I don't think so. 

Always felt that syntax highlighting for instance is way overrated.  Haven't
tried "ed" yet, but since I have already stripped down my everything to what
I thought was minimal, now that you mention it, this may be where I'm bound.

I do have a question: 

You mentioned Vim's clientserver mode. 

What's it good for?

Thanks,
