You can do a lot of this in nvi as well.  You can make a shell window with
:sh and run your compiler (or make or whatever in it).  There are also ways
to make it move you to the line of an error and stuff (I believe, I haven't
done this myself).

Read the nvi (or vi on FreeBSD) man pages, they talk a bit about the new
features of nvi.
