There are several different strains of vi around the place, including nvi, vim, and elvis. The stock FreeBSD 'vi' is nvi, which is just plain dandy for simple editing. Check out 'man vi' for a bit of information on it. There is also documentation in /usr/share/doc/usd/12.vi and /usr/share/doc/usd/13.viref that you might like to look at. Also, there is the ports collection, which contains many different editors. There is bound to be one in there that suits your purpose.
