I use [x]vile, "vi like Emacs".  It's vi in terms of what the keys do
(I can use vim and 'real' vi without issues) but it's built on an old
eMacs engine and so has quite a few eMacs-like abiliities.  For
example it has a gnuclient type mode where it runs as a server and you
can squirt files at it to be edited.

It's available in most distributions and is actively maintained and
developed still.
