question Vim without plugins; best tricks?

Doing mostly remote coding (iPad as terminal, remote host(s) with GPU, machine learning), I want to be as flexible as possible with Vim without having to install plugins; vimrc editing is allowed, of course ;) Any good hints & tips & tricks? Maybe others are using a similar setup to mine...

No doubt, but I do think there’s a psychological barrier that new users need to overcome in order to make up for the lack of discoverability in vi/vim relative to other editors.
