Can we include a link to https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/vim as well for a way to use a package manager to download a terminal-only version of Vim? I believe that's the most popular one on macOS. This is similar to how we have links to Debian packages etc on Unix (I don't think the http://packages.debian.org/vim actually works though…). I don't know if you want that page to really list all the package managers though or just the major ones, but I believe most people either get Vim on macOS via Homebrew (either regular Vim or MacVim) or just download MacVim binary releases.
